Ingredients

  • 14 oz (400 g) cooked white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) red or white wine vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • ½ tsp fine salt, or to taste
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Drain and rinse the cooked white beans thoroughly, then transfer them to a mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, wine vinegar, garlic, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the beans and gently toss until evenly coated. Add the chopped parsley and mix again.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors can develop. Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.

Tips

  • The salad tastes even better after resting for a few hours in the refrigerator.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
