Creating your White Bean & Veggie Salad is a breeze with these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Veggies: Start by washing and dicing the cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, and cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the red onion and parsley as well.
2. Rinse the Beans: Drain the canned white beans and rinse them under cold water to remove excess sodium and maintain freshness.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rinsed white beans, diced cucumber, bell pepper, shredded carrot, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped parsley.
4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together until well combined.
6. Taste and Adjust: Sample the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
7. Chill (Optional): For best results, refrigerate the salad for 10–15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
8. Serve: Give the salad a final toss before serving, and enjoy your nutritious creation!
