How to Make All White Bean Salad

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans (rinsed and drained), 1 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Gently toss all ingredients until well combined.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
