Recipe: Herb Marinated Beans

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.

2 tablespoons lemon juice

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

½ cup chopped celery

¼ chopped parsley

2 tablespoons fresh dill

½ teaspoon salt

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

• Combine shallot, garlic and lemon juice in a large bowl and set aside for 10 minutes. Whisk in oil.
