Ingredients

  • 1 can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 can whole artichokes drained and chopped in halves
  • 1/2 med onion chopped
  • 2 small cucumbers thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped/smashed
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • juice of one lemon
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp parsley I had dried on hand, but fresh would be great here
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Put beans, artichokes and cucumbers, garlic, and onion in a large bowl.
  • Next, add the lemon juice, olive oil, and vinegar over the top and toss with salad tongs or two big spoons. Be gentle so you don't smash the beans too much.

Notes

Refrigerate the leftovers, this salad is even better the next day!
