In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cooked chorizo. Add the warmed cannellini beans and garlic mixture.

Step 9

Chop the parsley finely, and add it to the salad.

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the red wine vinegar.

Step 11

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything gently until evenly combined.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
