This white bean salad is so easy to whip up, it takes literally 5 minutes, it’s super healthy for you and there’s no oil used in the recipe. There is however a ton of flavor, you won’t miss the olive oil at all. I’m really into quick salads at the moment as it’s so ridiculously hot here in New York. The thought of putting the oven on, or even a pot of water to boil makes me nearly pass out. So much easier to open a can, add a few yummy ingredients and hey pesto here’s lunch:)
What’s in the Salad?
- cannellini beans
- cherry tomatoes from the garden
- plenty of lemon zest and juice
- a really good amount of Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinaigrette
- fresh basil and parsley
- a pinch of kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper

What can I substitute?
All sorts of things:) You can really make this your own very easily. Add what you LOVE.
