Chef's Tips

For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast some pita bread and serve it alongside the salad for dipping. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing for a subtle kick.

Easy Substitutions

Chickpeas can be used instead of cannellini beans. If fresh mint is unavailable, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried mint, though fresh is preferred. Feel free to add diced cucumber for extra crunch.

Storage & Reheating
