Instructions

  1. 01

    Add the kidney beans, white beans, chickpeas, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, parsley, and basil to a large mixing bowl.

  2. 02

    In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, shallot, honey, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, oregano, and black pepper until combined.

  3. 03

    Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.

  4. 04

    Let the salad sit for at least 20–30 minutes before serving so the beans can soak up the dressing and the flavors can come together.

  5. 05

    Before serving, stir well and taste. Add more salt, lemon juice, or red wine vinegar as needed.

Variations & swaps

Substitutions and Variations

  • Bean swaps – Black beans can sub in for any of the three if that’s what you have on hand. Just don’t swap all three at once. Keep at least two of the originals, and the flavor will hold up great.
  • Feta vs. Parmesan – Both work great in this recipe. Feta gives you salty and creamy, Parmesan gives you sharp and nutty. It really comes down to what you’re in the mood for.
  • Fresh herbs – If you only have one on hand, go with parsley. Basil adds brightness, but parsley is doing more of the heavy lifting in this recipe.
  • Add a protein – Grilled chicken or salami turns this into a full meal. Either one fits right in without fighting the other flavors. I’ve also added canned tuna and chopped shrimp and it turned out great.
