Can I use dried beans instead of canned?

You can use dried beans instead of cans, but you'll need to soak and cook them first. I prefer using canned as they are very convenient and I always have them in my pantry.

How long does the leftover salad keep?

Leftover white bean salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep fresh for 3-4 days, but is best enjoyed within a day of making. When making it for meal prep, I recommend not adding the tomatoes, and slicing just before serving. Sliced tomatoes will dry out and not have the ideal texture.

What is the difference between cannellini beans and white navy beans?

Both Cannellini and White Navy Beans are white beans and can be found in most grocery stores. Cannellini beans are larger, have a kidney shape, and are 'meatier' than Navy or Great Northern Beans

Instructions

Prepare Salad Ingredients: Rinse and drain white beans. Mince the red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the fresh herbs.
Mix Dressing: Either by whisking in a small bowl or shaking in a jar, mix up the dressing ingredients until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Toss Salad. Add the salad ingredients to a medium bowl and toss with some or all of the lemon dressing (amount is up to you! I like to use it all). Taste and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days, with or without the dressing. For best results for meal prep, I recommend not slicing and adding the tomatoes until just before serving.

I use Cannellini or Great Northern Beans
