Make White Bean Salad Vegan for a Plant-Based Version
This vegan white bean salad is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegan cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make better meals for you and your family.
This white bean summer salad is a riff of a classic blueprint that I love to enjoy for lunch. Add beans (or grain) of choice, some fresh vegetables, fresh herbs, and a simple olive oil and vinegar dressing. That is all. The fresh, homegrown ingredients absolutely shine. Its protein packed, flavorful, and will leave you satisfied until dinner time.
