Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain and rinse the white cannellini beans thoroughly if using canned; if homemade, ensure they are cooked until tender and cooled.
  2. Dice 1 rib of celery into small, uniform pieces for even texture.
  3. Trim and thinly slice 4 scallions, separating the white and green parts if desired for visual contrast.
  4. Seed and dice 3 Roma tomatoes, removing any excess moisture to keep the salad from becoming watery.
  5. Finely chop 1/2 cup of fresh parsley or cilantro.
  6. Crush 1 garlic clove using a garlic press or the flat side of a knife.
  7. In a large mixing bowl, combine the beans, diced celery, sliced scallions, diced tomatoes, chopped herbs, and crushed garlic.
  8. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the mixture.
  9. Add 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Gently toss all ingredients together until evenly coated in the lemon-cumin dressing.
  11. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
