NOTES on the INGREDIENTS

  • White beans. You can either use canned beans or cooked beans at home. I almost always make this salad with canned or jarred navy beans because it is faster.
  • You can use canellini beans, navy beans (beans), great northern beans or any other white bean that you have around or like the most. What’s important is to use a bean that keeps its shape.
  • You can use chickpeas if you don’t have white beans at home and it will be delicious also.
  • Tomatoes. I like to use halfed fresh Cherry tomatoes, but the truth is that it you can use any type of tomato. Use a roma or beefsteak tomatoes. It is not essential to remove the seeds or the juice, in the end everything gets mixed together and it’s delicious.
  • Fresh herbs. It is best to use fresh, but if you don’t have any, you can use dried herbs without any problem. Change, swap or add more if you need to. For example use parsley if you don’t have mint or can use oregano if you don’t have dill

You can serve it on a mixed lettuce salad, as a sandwich, with homemade bread, or pita bread. It is also delicious if you stuff an avocado or serve it over white rice or quinoa.
