tomato and white bean — can't believe I nearly skipped lunch

Had about twenty minutes before a Teams call and basically threw this together out of desperation. Ripe tomatoes from the garden, a tin of cannellini beans, half a red onion I'd left in the fridge since who knows when, and a proper handful of basil. Dressed it with a bit of rapeseed oil, red wine vinegar, salt. That's it. I mean it sounds too simple but honestly it was really good — the tomatoes are so sweet right now, this is exactly the right moment for it. My nan used to make a version of this with tinned tomatoes in winter and it was never quite the same. Proper seasonal makes all the difference, I think.

the cannellini beans are doing a lot of heavy lifting here, proper filling without feeling like you've eaten a full meal
