Ingredients
6 servings
3 x 15 ouncecans beans
drained and rinsed or use 4 1/2 cups cooked beans
¾ cuponion
medium, finely chopped
1cucumber
medium, finely chopped
3 tablespoonsdrained capers
½ cupfresh parsley
finely chopped
¾ teaspoondried oregano
¼ cupred wine vinegar
¼ cupextra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoondijon mustard
1 teaspoonshoney
or maple syrup, optional
¾ teaspoonfine sea salt
plus more to taste
¼ teaspoonfresh ground black pepper
Instructions
Step 1
Add chopped onions to a small bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside for 5 minutes, drain, and then rinse. This step helps to remove some of the “raw” flavor of the onion so that it does not overpower the salad.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper. Taste the dressing and then adjust with more salt/pepper. If the dressing tastes too abrasive, whisk in 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup to balance out the vinegar.
Step 3
Add the beans, drained onion, cucumber, parsley, capers and dried oregano. Toss well, cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour to allow the beans to marinate in the dressing.
Step 4
The salad will keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.
