Chef’s Tips
- For even more flavor, cover your white bean salad and let is sit in the fridge overnight. Leaving the beans and veggies to marinate in the dressing will give them enough time to soak up tons of flavor. When you return, you’ll have the best tasting bean salad ever!
- Serve this plant-based recipe however you’d like. I love it on its own as a quick and easy lunch. However, it also tastes delicious over lettuce or alongside lean protein (such as fish or steak).
- Have fun with this recipe! This is one of those healthy dishes you can totally customize based on your preferences. I also like to switch up the fresh veggies in this dish based on what I have on-hand.
