This is very good! I did have to make some substitutions, but I don't think I changed the salad very much overall. I used small white beans, not cannellini, also plain yogurt with a little lemon zest and 1 teaspoon sugar instead of lemon yogurt. And I used dried tarragon instead of fresh. On top of that, I didn't really measure the amount of balsamic vinegar, and probably used quite a lot less. I just poured it over until everything was coated. This is a very good salad, and one which I will be making in the future, too. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.
