Ingredients

• 400 grams White beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 medium Red onion
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 15 grams Parsley (fresh, chopped)
• 2 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Tahini
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sumac (optional, for garnish)
• 1 small Green chili pepper (optional, finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

If using dried white beans, soak them overnight and then cook until tender before proceeding. If using canned beans, drain and rinse them thoroughly under cold water.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons. Place the sliced onion in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to reduce its sharpness, then drain and pat dry.

Step 3

Dice the tomatoes into small cubes and set them aside.

Step 4

Finely chop the fresh parsley, removing any thick stems.

Step 5

Peel the hard-boiled eggs and slice them into quarters. Set them aside for garnish.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, white vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper to create a creamy dressing. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked white beans, sliced red onion, diced tomatoes, parsley, and any chili pepper if using.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.

Step 9

Transfer the salad to a serving dish. Arrange the sliced hard-boiled eggs on top and sprinkle sumac over the eggs and salad as a finishing touch.

Step 10

Serve the piyaz bean salad immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy it as a side dish or a light, healthy meal.
