This recipe for herb marinated beans is easy to prepare and versatile: try a spoonful on a salad, add them to a grain bowl, or enjoy them as a side dish. 

They are a great source of plant-based protein and fiber as well.

1 medium shallot, thinly sliced     

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons lemon juice

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

½ cup chopped celery

¼ chopped parsley

2 tablespoons fresh dill

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano

½ teaspoon salt

1 15 oz can no-salt-added white beans, such as great northern or butter beans, rinsed

1 15 oz can red kidney beans, rinsed

Preparation

  • Combine shallot, garlic and lemon juice in a large bowl and set aside for 10 minutes. Whisk in oil.
  • Add celery, parsley, dill, oregano and salt and stir to combine. Add beans, chiles and lemon zest and toss to coat.
