Enjoy this filling, yet easy and refreshing white bean salad dotted with sweet peppers this summer. This bean salad recipe is a perfect side dish for all your grilling recipes.
Place the beans, pepper, parsley, and onion in a large salad bowl. Stir gently.
Add the vinegar, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Fold gently so as not to break up the beans. Adjust the seasonings and serve.

Variations
Use a different bean. I used cannellini beans, but you could use another white bean such as Great Northern or Navy beans or even black, pinto, or garbanzo beans.
Swap out the fresh herbs. Try using something like cilantro, basil, or even mint instead for a different taste.
Add other veggies. You can fold in other types of vegetables, such as roasted cauliflower, roasted peppers, chopped celery, cucumber, or sun dried tomatoes.
Make it a Mediterranean bean salad. Try adding some feta cheese and Kalamata olives!
Turn it into a complete meal. You could add canned tuna or grilled chicken to this White Bean Salad. It's one way you can turn a can of tuna into a meal.
