In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed white beans, baby spinach leaves, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates and enjoy immediately.
