These easy marinated white beans come together so quickly and make the perfect plant-based appetizer, snack, or light lunch. The beans are soaked in Mediterranean flavors for a couple hours or overnight for incredible flavor. Top crostini, toast, pita chips, or salads!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar (aged, if possible)
  • 1 teaspoon agave (or honey, or maple syrup)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Dash of black pepper
  • 2 14-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Macerate garlic & onions. Add the garlic and red onions to a medium-large bowl with fresh lemon juice. Allow to soak for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add oil, vinegar, and spices. Add the olive oil, vinegar, agave, fine salt, oregano, and pepper. Whisk together to combine thoroughly.
  3. Add beans, parsley, and marinate. Add in the beans and fresh parsley, then stir together all ingredients until the beans are evenly coated. Place the beans in an airtight container in the fridge, and allow them to marinate for at least two hours before serving.

Notes

  1. Storage: Store your white beans in an airtight container for up to five days in the fridge. I don't recommend freezing these white beans.
  2. Serving suggestions: These white beans are delicious scooped into salads or served atop sourdough toast! You can also dip pita chips, crackers, or scoop onto crostini.
