INGREDIENTS
  

Salad

  • 30 ounces Butter Bean ( 1 can = 15 ounces)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini cucumbers quartered
  • 1 cup red onion sliced
  • 1 bunch Italian parsley chopped
  • ½ cup vegan feta crumbles optional
  • crushed black peppercorn

Vinaigrette

  • ¼ cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 3 tablespoon red vine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

METHOD
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven at 400℉, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the halved tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet with a tablespoon of avocado oil and a ¼ teaspoon salt. Roast for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together all the ingredients for the vinaigrette , and set aside.
  • In a medium size bowl, toss together the sliced onions with about 3-4 tablespoon of the prepared dressing. Set aside to pickle for about 10 minutes while the tomatoes are roasting.
  • Once the tomatoes are ready, then let them cool down for 5-10 minutes.

Assemble

  • Rinse butter beans under cold water, and place them in a mixing bowl.
  • Then add the Italian parsley, cucumbers, pickled onions, and roasted tomatoes.
  • Pour over the remaining vinaigrette and toss together until it is all combined.
  • Top with crumbled vegan feta before serving.
    Note: Optional to serve the salad over a bed of your favorite vegan greek yogurt.

NOTES

    • Room Temperature Dressing: Use room temperature dressing to ensure it mixes well and coats all the salad ingredients evenly.
    • Chill Before Serving: Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together and enhance the taste.
    • Adjust the Seasoning Slowly: Taste the salad before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed, especially the salt and pepper.
    • Avoid Adding Too Much Dressing: Add it gradually until you achieve the right consistency.
