A refreshing and flavorful salad combining white beans, cherry tomatoes, and aromatic herbs, perfect for any occasion.
Rinse and drain the canned cannellini beans.
Rinsing canned beans removes excess sodium and improves their flavor.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and preserve the texture of the vegetables.
In a mixing bowl, combine the beans, tomatoes, onion, and parsley.
Gently toss the ingredients to avoid mashing the beans.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice of the lemon, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Whisking the dressing ensures the ingredients are well combined and emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Let the salad sit for a while to allow the flavors to meld together.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
