This simple white bean salad has become a favorite in my house because it comes together in just ten minutes. It is the perfect healthy lunch for busy days when you want something satisfying but light.

You can customize this by adding whatever fresh vegetables you have in the fridge. I love using crunchy cucumbers or bell peppers to add a bit of texture to the creamy beans.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans white beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the white beans well under cold water and let them drain in a colander.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add the drained beans, chopped cucumber, red onion, and parsley to the bowl.

  4. 4

    Toss everything together gently until the beans and vegetables are coated in the dressing.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately or let it sit in the fridge for thirty minutes so the flavors can blend together.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. This salad actually tastes even better the next day after the beans soak up the lemon dressing. You can serve this over a bed of fresh greens or scoop it up with some crunchy crackers.
