White Bean Tomato Salad (10 Minute!)
This 10-minute White Bean Tomato Salad mixes canned white beans, fresh grape tomatoes, and chopped herbs like parsley, dill, and chives in a light dressing of apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a touch of maple syrup. The salad is fresh, tangy, and adaptable with optional mix-ins for variety.
Ingredients
- 15 oz. White beans cannellini, great northern, or navy, canned
- 5 oz. grape tomatoes about 1/2 dry pint, or cherry tomatoes
- 3 Tbsp. fresh herbs I use parsley, dill, and chives, chopped
For the dressing:
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. pure maple syrup (more or less to taste)
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- garlic 1 clove minced or 1/4 tsp garlic powder; optional
Instructions
- Rinse and drain white beans. Halve or quarter the tomatoes. Chop fresh herbs. Add all to a medium bowl.
- Make the dressing: Add all dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
- Pour dressing over bean mixture and toss well.
- Serve immediately at room temperature or let it chill covered in the fridge for a couple hours to marinate. (Stir before serving as some dressing will settle at the bottom.) This recipe is incredibly versatile, so play around with the additions and flavors you love!
Notes
- Preferred herbs include parsley, dill, and chives, but fresh basil or cilantro is a good alternative.
- Consider adding ingredients like roasted red pepper, cucumber, avocado, olives, or vegan feta for variation.
- Use fresh lemon juice or different vinegars like balsamic or red wine vinegar to vary the dressing flavor.
- Store in an airtight container refrigerated; best consumed within 3-4 days.
- This recipe yields about 2 heaping cups of salad.
