Mediterranean White Bean Salad

I made this fresh and tangy Mediterranean white bean salad for lunch recently–my husband and I couldn’t get enough of it. I love that it’s easy to throw together and it tastes extra amazing if you let it marinate for a little while before serving. I was really excited to use one of my homegrown candy cane peppers in this delicious and healthy salad but you can also use red bell pepper if you prefer. I really enjoyed the combination of the creamy white beans, the crispness of the cucumber, pepper, and onion, the freshness from the herbs, and the tangy vinaigrette was delicious. My husband said that he loved the bits of feta cheese throughout the salad because they gave a nice tangy saltiness to the dish. I’m looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow but I may have to fight my husband for them.

Mediterranean White Bean Salad

Make the vinaigrette by combining the olive oil, white wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste together in a small jar; seal with lid & shake well. Set aside until needed.

Make the salad by draining and rinsing the white beans then place them in a serving bowl. Add the cucumber, red onion, red pepper, fresh parsley, and fresh dill then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Drizzle with the well-whisked vinaigrette and toss to coat evenly. Set aside in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow flavors to mingle.

Serve with feta cheese sprinkled on top. Enjoy.

It’s the latest effort by Canada’s military to boost recruitment numbers, which are lagging well behind the target of adding 5,900 new members by March. Officials have blamed a series of factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic and reputational issues stemming from a number of high-profile sexual misconduct cases, for the current shortfall of nearly 8,000 soldiers, sailors and aviators.
