Lemony White Bean & Herb Salad

This Lemony White Bean Salad is the perfect companion for your tuna cakes. Beans like cannellini and chickpeas are excellent for a low GI/GL diet because their high fibre and protein content prevent blood sugar spikes. This salad is also sturdy, meaning it won't get soggy and actually tastes better the next day after marinating in the fridge. Packability: Unlike leafy greens, beans and hearty vegetables won't wilt in your lunchbox. Storage: This salad stays fresh in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
