Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 (15 oz) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • ½ cup finely diced celery
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper together until emulsified.
  2. Combine beans, red onion, parsley, and celery in a large bowl, then pour the dressing over and toss gently for about 1 minute until coated.
  3. Taste, adjust seasoning, scatter extra parsley on top, and serve.

Notes

This salad really benefits from sitting for 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature before you eat it, though it's fine right away. If you're making it ahead, the beans will absorb the dressing, so add a little extra olive oil and a pinch of salt before serving again.
