Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked white beans Canned beans are fine for convenience.
  • 1 small onion, finely diced Red onion works beautifully.

  • to taste salt and pepper Adjust seasoning as preferred.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using canned beans, thoroughly drain and rinse them under cold water. Set them aside in a mixing bowl.
  2. Finely dice your onion. If the taste is too sharp, soak the diced onion in cold water for about 10 minutes to mellow the flavor.
  3. Add the diced onions and chopped parsley into the bowl with the beans. Mix well.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
  5. Pour the dressing over the bean mixture, stirring gently until everything is coated. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

To enhance the flavors, let the salad rest for about 30 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but avoid freezing.
