Introduction
A vibrant, protein-packed bean salad made with chickpeas, fava beans, crunchy vegetables, and a simple herb-citrus vinaigrette. It is a perfect meal-prep option that actually improves in flavor as it marinates in the fridge.
Step 1
Open and drain the canned chickpeas and fava beans, then rinse them thoroughly under cold running water in a colander.
Step 2
Transfer the rinsed beans to a large mixing bowl and add the diced celery and diced red onion.
Step 3
Add the diced mixed bell peppers, chopped tomato, and chopped fresh dill into the bowl.
Step 4
Drizzle generously with extra virgin Greek olive oil and red wine vinegar, then squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the top.
Step 5
Season with salt, stir and toss the salad thoroughly to combine, and adjust any seasonings to taste.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
High-quality olive oil will solidify and harden in the fridge. Take the salad out about 15 to 20 minutes before serving to let the oil liquefy and return to room temperature.
This salad is excellent for meal prep as the flavors continue to meld and improve the longer it sits in the refrigerator.
The ingredient measurements can be adjusted 'with your heart' based on your personal preference for crunch, acidity, and seasoning.
