In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion.
Add the white beans to the bowl along with the chopped parsley and basil for freshness and flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
