This salad is a refreshing burst of flavor and a perfect way to enjoy wholesome ingredients for dinner!

1

Begin by gathering all your ingredients and rinsing the canned beans under cold water for about 2 minutes. This helps remove excess sodium. Drain and set aside.

2

Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces, making sure to remove any hard core pieces. This typically takes about 5 minutes.

3

Next, finely dice the red onion. This usually takes around 5 minutes, so take your time to get it nice and small.

4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed beans, chopped tomatoes, and diced red onion.

5

Now, let's prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice from the lemon, salt, and pepper until well mixed. This should take about 2 minutes.

6

Pour the dressing over the bean and tomato mixture, and gently toss everything together to ensure the dressing evenly coats all ingredients. This step takes just a minute or two.

7

Tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the salad, tossing gently once more.

8

Allow the salad to marinate for about 5 minutes at room temperature for the flavors to meld.

9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful Insalata di Fagioli e Pomodoro!
