White Bean Salad
Description
The salad mixes canned white beans, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, parsley, and cilantro. The dressing is a blend of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, pressed garlic, salt, and black pepper, which brightens the creamy, mild beans and provides herbaceous notes from the parsley and cilantro.
The salad's texture is a mix of tender beans and crisp vegetables, with a fresh citrus and garlic dressing that coats all ingredients evenly. It’s easy to toss together and serve immediately, making it a useful dish for weeknights or a refreshing side.
Adding the cherry tomatoes just before serving keeps the salad fresh and prevents them from becoming soggy. It’s adaptable to ingredient changes but works well as written for balance and texture.
The salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for several days, maintaining freshness when properly stored.
