Vegan White Bean Summer Salad

Short Description: 

This quick and simple white bean salad is perfect for summer picnics and parties. You can whip it up when guests arrive with a short notice or pack it for a day at the beach. White beans are a great source of protein to keep you going all summer long. We like to pair this white bean salad with a sweet and earthy organic, cold-pressed Living Juice Red Radiance.

Ingredients: 

2 organic cloves of garlic 

2 cans of organic white beans, drained and rinse (cannellini, navy beans, or chick peas)

1 organic medium onion, diced

2 organic tomatoes, diced 

1/2 cup organic black olives, diced

1/2 cup organic fresh parsley, minced

2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil 

2 tbsps red wine vinegar 

1 organic lemon, juiced

Salt and pepper to tastes 

Recipe: 

1. After draining and rinsing the beans, warm beans, onions, parsley, and garlic in a sauce pan with olive oil. Warm for about a minute or two, until fragrant and soft. No need to cook the ingredients, just soften and combine flavors. 

2. In a large bowl, combine warmed mixture with tomatoes, olives, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. Mix and add salt and pepper to taste. 

3. Serve warm or chill for a few hours and enjoy! If you'd like to make a full meal out of your white bean dish, serve over lettuce for a hearty salad!
