Salad Base

Method

Preparation of Salad Base

  1. 1

    Rinse and Drain Beans

    Open the cans of white beans and pour them into a colander. Rinse under cold water and let them drain completely.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside. Peel the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise, remove the seeds with a spoon, and then cut it into half-moon slices. Finely chop the red onion and roughly chop the fresh parsley.

  3. 3

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed white beans, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley. Toss gently to mix.

Preparation of Dressing

  1. 4

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic (you can use a garlic press or finely chop it), salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are coated with the dressing.

Final Steps

  1. 6

    Chill and Serve

    For best flavor, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or light meal.
