Bean and Tomato Salad

I promised JaNette I'd post this recipe when she was here. It tastes best the day you make it.

Bean and Tomato Salad
2 cans (16oz) cannellini or white kidney beans
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 C onion, minced
6 stalks celery, chopped
1-2 T lemon juice
2 T olive oil
1 T chopped fresh basil
4-5 tomatoes, chopped (and seeded if you have the time/patience/skillz, otherwise the salad gets soggy at the bottom)
salt and pepper to taste

Drain and rinse beans in a colander. Leave the beans in the colander to drain while you chop everything else up. Mix everything except the beans together. Then gently stir in the beans so that they don't break apart. Serve at room temperature.
