30 minutes

This salad of beans, red onion, and parsley embodies the simplicity and refined taste characteristic of Italian cuisine. Cannellini beans give the dish a delicate texture, while red onion adds a slight spiciness. Fresh parsley refreshes the flavor, and olive oil and red wine vinegar bind all the components together, creating a harmonious combination. With its balanced composition, the salad is perfect as a light appetizer or a side dish for meat and fish dishes. In Italy, bean salads are popular among Mediterranean diet enthusiasts as they are rich in protein and fiber while having a rich yet unobtrusive flavor. This salad beautifully complements any table by adding freshness and simple yet sophisticated notes to the meal.
