1. Add your onion, garlic, chilli and capsicum to your pan with your olive oil and saute until softened.
2. Add in your beans and stir until heated through. 
3. Add your tomatoes and parsley to a serving bowl and add your bean mixture and vinegar, tossing to combine. 
4. Season with salt and pepper and you're ready to eat!
5. Serve on its own or as a side dish to chicken, beef, fish or whatever you fancy.

Notes:

This salad can be customised to suit whatever you have at home! Change up the beans, leave out the capsicum, add fresh basil, toasted pinenuts or whatever you like.
