White Bean Salad (vegan + easy!)

I had a can of cannellini beans sitting in my pantry for about 6 months 😂 until I finally made this delicious plant-based White Bean Salad. This was so simple and yummy, another can of cannellini beans will never in my pantry that long again!

This was actually a clean out the fridge meal, but it turned out so delicious (and beautiful!) I made it again and measured each ingredient so that I could share with you guys.

I love that this recipe can be made ahead of time for busy days and weeks. It actually gets better the longer it sits! I originally made it to have as sides for meals or for quick meals that I could add a protein like salmon or chicken with BUT, I loved it so much, I didn’t need to add anything else with it!

This White Bean Salad is full of nutrients and flavor, plant-based protein and fiber from the beans, and healthy fat from the pumpkin seeds. I also love the diced apples for an extra crunch and bit of sweetness.
