Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make the vinaigrette by combining the olive oil, white wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, sugar, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste together in a small jar; seal with lid & shake well. Set aside until needed.Side Note: We like a tangy vinaigrette, if you don’t, add more olive oil, to taste.
  2. Make the salad by draining and rinsing the white beans then place them in a serving bowl.
  3. Add the cucumber, red onion, red pepper, fresh parsley, and fresh dill then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
  4. Drizzle with the well-whisked vinaigrette and toss to coat evenly. Set aside in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow flavors to mingle. 
  5. Serve with feta cheese sprinkled on top. Enjoy.
