Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized Zucchini
• 1 15-ounce can Canned cannellini beans
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 small Red onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the zucchini and chop off the ends. Use a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer to create thin ribbons of zucchini. Place the ribbons in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Rinse and drain the canned cannellini beans thoroughly and add them to the bowl with the zucchini.

Step 3

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and finely dice the red onion. Add both to the salad bowl.

Step 4

Chop the parsley into small pieces and sprinkle it over the salad for a fresh, herby flavor.

Step 5

Crumble the feta cheese and add it to the salad bowl for a creamy, tangy touch.

Step 6

In a small jar or bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Shake the jar or whisk the ingredients until the vinaigrette is well combined.

Step 7

Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 8

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld. Enjoy!
