Tomato and White Bean Salad

Originally published January 2010 – updated January 2019

I am not fond of lettuce. I like it on my burgers or sandwiches, or as a garnish to a nice plate of fish, but in general I do not like lettuce. Oh sure, you hand me a fried chicken salad and I will tear it up, but that really defeats the whole purpose of a salad. For me the problem with a big, healthy salad is not the taste or the texture, it’s that I simply get sick of chewing long before I ever get full (unless you are making this amazing Cobb salad) Now a bean salad, there’s a good answer to the problem. Healthy, filling, tasty, and easy to chew. I am a genius.

Tomato and White Bean Salad

Bean salads are so easy and versatile. This Tomato and White Beans Salad is full of fresh basil and a lemony vinaigrette, but you could easily swap out herbs and veggies for whats in season. Also I love to add a can of tuna or some leftover cooked chicken to this simple bean salad to have an easy lunch just hanging out in the fridge.

Canned or Dry Beans?

If you have made a batch of our Ham and White Beans from dry beans then please feel free to use the leftovers in this salad. (Give them a little rinse first). If not then by all means grab your nearest can of white beans. Any white bean will do, but I do love Cannellini Beans in this salad. They are big and creamy and hold up well in the vinaigrette.

    it's so nice to know i'm not the only person who doesn't like lettuce. it's those thick,chewy spines that creep me out the most. plus people usually give you a huge heaping pile of tasteless lettuce and just a few sprinklings of other toppings – but i'm more interested in the toppings than a mound of solid water. this recipe is definitely an answer to this problem. yum! 😉

    […] all of the ham out of them is pretty high, so plan on using up the leftovers in something like a White Bean Salad, a white bean bake, or our favorite Harissa Chicken and White Beans. Of course, you can also freeze […]
