And hark this, zero cooking. We’ll zip up a simple and pungent herb dressing with a little bit of garlic and violently toss it over a can of creamy cannellini beans, halved cherry tomatoes and thinly sliced red onion. It’s absolutely perfect. Summer in a mouthful.
And you’ll definitely want to add a bit of freshly shaved parmesan and cracked black pepper to finish it all out. It’s a must.

The herb dressing obviously gives this huge earthy, summery feel to it, so don’t skimp. I used what I have in the garden – parsley, rosemary and basil. Unhinged. So good.
This is a true toss-together situation and you will not be able to obsess over it enough.

Bright, creamy, aromatic, herby, nutty. Checks all the boxes, babe.
