Instructions

If using canned beans, rinse and drain the beans. If making the beans from scratch, soak the white beans overnight and cook beans as needed: you can cook your white beans on the stovetop, or cook white beans in the Instant Pot.
Dice vegetables finely.
To make the dressing, squeeze the juice from 1 lemon into a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. If you'd like, you can also add 1 teaspoon of honey. Whisk all ingredients together until fully combined. Taste it and adjust the seasoning if desired.
In a large salad bowl, add the beans, bell pepper, onions and parsley, and stir. Add the feta cheese and stir gently and toss to combine.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving for all the flavors to marinade.
Serve this salad with crusty bread and additional olive oil to give it an added punch.
The clear, bright flavors of this salad make it perfect for picnics, lunch boxes, dinner parties, or just a quick weeknight meal. Plus, its lightness makes it a great healthy summer accompaniment to salads as well as roasted meats or fish. But you should go ahead and enjoy this nutritious dish any time of the year!
