Simple Marinated White Bean Salad
This marinated white bean salad is the quick, simple meal of my dreams.
It comes together with a few pantry staples — canned beans! — but gets jazzed up with lots of fresh herbs, olive oil, vinegar, and sun-dried tomatoes. You will want to eat this on repeat, both for lunch and dinner.
Creamy, healthy, and filling.
It’s just the kind of staple worth having on hand all week long, when light, no-cook meals are the priority and effortless eating is on everyone’s mind. It’s wonderful spooned onto toast or used to bulk up a salad, but I especially love it tossed with cooked farro or brown rice, because the garlicky oil coats each grain. Or, you could just go ahead and eat it by the spoonful — it really is that good.
Enjoy, friends!
