Ingredients

• 2 cups Canned white beans (e.g., cannellini or great northern beans)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium Cucumber, diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
• 2 large Roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and drain the canned white beans thoroughly, then transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely diced red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the beans. Toss lightly to combine.

Step 3

If using, crumble the feta cheese over the salad. Set the salad aside while you prepare the dressing.

Step 4

To make the dressing, place the roasted red peppers in a blender or food processor along with the minced garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup for vegan option), salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Blend the ingredients on high until the dressing is completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 6

Pour the roasted red pepper dressing over the salad, starting with half and adding more to taste. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 7

Let the salad sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.

Step 8

Garnish with additional parsley or a sprinkle of crumbled feta before serving, if desired.
