Chef's Tips

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

Easy Substitutions

Chickpeas can be used instead of cannellini beans. For a different herb profile, try fresh dill or mint instead of parsley. Kalamata olives or cucumber can also be added for more texture and flavor.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavors tend to meld and improve slightly after a few hours.
