Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned white beans (e.g., cannellini or great northern beans)
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
Rinse and drain the canned white beans thoroughly, then set aside to remove excess moisture.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Finely dice half of a red onion and chop the fresh parsley; add both to the bowl with the cherry tomatoes.
Mince one clove of garlic and, in a small bowl, whisk it together with the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Add the drained white beans to the mixing bowl with the vegetables, then pour the vinaigrette over the top.
Gently toss everything together until well combined, ensuring the beans and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
If using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the salad just before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
