How to Make Tomato Blue Cheese And Kidney Bean Salad

  1. In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans (rinsed and drained), 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  2. In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup cubed day-old bread and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
  3. To assemble, arrange slices of 2 large tomatoes on a serving plate. Spoon the kidney bean salad over the tomatoes. Crumble 4 ounces blue cheese over the salad and top with the crispy croutons.
