Greek Style White Bean Salad

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: tofu feta

💰Cheaper: ricotta

Tofu feta is lower in calories, while ricotta provides a creamy texture at a lower cost.

Soak the beans overnight and cook in a flavoursome broth if desired, but using canned beans is simpler.

Rinse the canned cannellini beans under cold water to remove the salt from the brine.

Dice a bit of sweet red pepper and add it to the mixing bowl.

Use tender inside stalks of celery for garnish and add to the bowl.

Dice some carrots and add them to the bowl as well.

Chop half of a red onion or shallot and add it to the mixture.

Add lemon juice and lemon zest to the bowl.

Pour in generous amounts of extra virgin olive oil, preferably Greek.

If serving immediately, add salt now; if preparing for later, salt just before serving.

Add coriander stalks to the mixture and give it a mix.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Plate the salad and serve.
