Recipe View Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vinaigrette.
This salad is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop.
Feel free to experiment with other types of beans, such as cannellini or great northern beans.
If you don't have fresh parsley, you can substitute with dried parsley, but use half the amount.
To make it Tex-Mex, swap the lemon for lime, parsley for cilantro, and add 1/2 teaspoon of cumin and 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder.
