Moon Bean Salad

2 t olive oil, divided
1 t dried oregano
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 c cider vinegar
2 (16 oz) cans white beans - cannellini or whatever, rinsed and drained*
1 1/2 c diced plum tomatoes
1/2 c chopped sweet onion (and everyone knows Vidalia is the only option here)
1/2 c (2 oz) crumbled blue cheese
1/3 c chopped fresh parsley
1/2 t each salt and black pepper

Heat 1 t oil, saute oregano and garlic 30 seconds. Add vinegar adn remove from heat. Combine with beans and cover and chill 30 minutes. Add 1 t oil, tomato, rest of ingredients and toss well.

*The Bush's great northern beans I used this time weren't as firm as I would have liked. Starting with dried beans would certainly fix that, but maybe a different brand or a different bean would, too.
