Greek White Bean Salad is a fresh, hearty dish made with creamy white beans, crunchy vegetables, briny Kalamata olives, and a tangy lemon dressing. It’s perfect as a light meal, side dish, or for meal prep.

Ingredients

  1. 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans (such as cannellini or great northern beans), drained and rinsed
    1 cucumber, diced
    1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
    1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
    1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
    1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
    1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
    For the dressing:
    3 tbsp olive oil
    2 tbsp red wine vinegar
    1 tbsp lemon juice
    1 tsp dried oregano
    1 garlic clove, minced
    Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the white beans, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and parsley.

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Pour the dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture, tossing gently to coat all the ingredients.
  3. If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.
  4. Let the salad sit for at least 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for later. This salad can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • Add roasted red peppers for extra sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • Include capers for a briny, salty punch.
  • For a heartier meal, add grilled chicken, tuna, or chickpeas for added protein.
  • Replace feta with a dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.
  • Add a sprinkle of pine nuts or sunflower seeds for added crunch.
