20 minutes
Bean salad with chorizo is a vibrant combination of Italian flavors that blends the richness of beans, the spiciness of chorizo, and the freshness of tomatoes. Chorizo, a Spanish sausage with a rich smoky pepper aroma, adds zest and depth to the dish. Wine vinegar and olive oil provide a subtle tang and silky texture, while fresh parsley completes the composition with fresh notes. This dish is perfect for warm evenings – light yet nutritious, it can serve as a standalone treat or an excellent side for meat or fish. The salad is especially good with crispy baguette and a glass of white wine, creating an atmosphere of cozy Italian dining. Its simplicity in preparation and rich flavor make it an ideal choice for friendly gatherings and family lunches.
