Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white beans (such as cannellini or navy beans)
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 cups baby arugula (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Start by rinsing and draining the cooked white beans thoroughly to remove excess starch. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped dill, and finely diced red onion to the bowl with the beans. Toss gently to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the bean and tomato mixture. Gently toss everything to ensure the beans and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
If using arugula, place a bed of arugula on a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon the dilled white bean salad over the top.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. If refrigerated, let the salad sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.
