Fresh, light and healthy white bean salad packs a surprisingly flavorful punch. This dish pairs well with grilled meat<\/a> or fish. It also travels well so you could easily bring it to your next backyard barbecue or picnic. Keep reading for the best white bean salad recipe to try out this spring or summer.<\/p>\n Toss the beans, celery, red onion, red pepper, parsley and green onions in a large bowl.<\/p>\n In a separate small bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.<\/p>\n Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for one hour or until chilled.<\/p>\n White bean salad will stay good in the fridge for up to three days but you may need to adjust the seasoning before serving, as the beans will absorb the liquid.<\/p>\n No, we wouldn’t recommend freezing bean salads like this one because they’re best served fresh.<\/p>\n After this salad has been refrigerated for a while and you’re getting ready to serve it, be sure to do a taste test first. You may need to add a bit more salt and pepper (or lemon juice, if using).<\/p>\n White bean salad pairs well with Greek chicken<\/a> or grilled fish<\/a>, like salmon or tilapia. Try some farmers market greens dressed simply with lemon, salt and pepper.<\/p>\n Yes, you can easily halve this recipe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" White bean salad is
