Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups white kidney beans (canned)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned white kidney beans under cold running water to remove excess sodium and let them dry slightly in a colander.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber into small cubes, and finely chop the red onion.
Roughly chop the parsley and dill.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic (using a microplane for finer texture), salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the kidney beans, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, parsley, and dill.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to evenly coat everything.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Let the salad rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately for a brighter, fresher taste.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy as a light lunch, side dish, or refreshing snack.
