White Bean Salad with Shallots
Bean salad is one of my favorite summer staples. It’s a super easy dish you can make ahead of time for a cookout or party. It’s also great having it in the refrigerator to throw on some greens for a hearty and satisfying lunch. This white bean salad with shallots is mild but delicious and can complement a wide variety of dishes.
