Italian Dense Bean Salad Recipe

Finely chop:

• Green cabbage

• Zucchini

• Red onion

• Radishes

• Red bell pepper

• Roasted red peppers

• Mixed olives

• Oaxaca cheese (or mozzarella or finely chopped firm tofu)

• Cilantro

• Parsley

• Dill

• Black pepper

• Splash olive juice/brine (in place of salt)

• Lemon juice

• Red wine vinegar

• Tiny bit of honey

• Olive oil

• LOTS of Italian seasoning

• Great northern beans

• Canned heart of palm

• Canned artichoke hearts

• Optional avocado

Drain beans before you start chopping, to ensure they’re as dry as possible when adding at the end. Nothing is specifically measured out and I make the dressing directly in the salad to taste! This paired perfectly with any protein dish, especially my Herby Turkey Meatball recipe, which you can see served behind the salad. You can mix meat in or enjoy a side protein. Instead of adding protein to the salad up front, only add when you’re going to eat it, this will help extend the salads life in the fridge.
