Ingredients

• 2 15-ounce cans canned white beans
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium cucumber
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup parsley
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup feta cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned white beans under cold water to remove any excess salt and preservatives. Set aside to drain completely.

Step 2

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Peel the cucumber and cut it into small cubes. Chop the red onion finely. Roughly chop the parsley leaves. Set all the chopped vegetables aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained white beans, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Finely mince the garlic clove and add it to the dressing. Stir to incorporate.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the white bean and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly with the dressing.

Step 7

If using, crumble the feta cheese on top of the salad and gently toss again.

Step 8

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, although it can be served immediately if desired.

Step 9

Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
