Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 English cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the rinsed and drained cannellini beans in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, chopped parsley, and chopped dill to the bowl with the beans.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined to make the dressing.
  4. Pour the dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture.
  5. Gently toss all ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
  6. For best flavor, let the white bean salad sit for at least 10 minutes before serving so the flavors can meld.
  7. Serve this easy white bean salad chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Rinsing the canned beans removes excess starch and salt, improving the texture of your salad.
  • This salad is excellent for meal prep; it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • If you want a heartier meal, add 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese or a can of drained tuna to the mix.
