Prep time: 15 MinTotal time: 15 Min

Want a delicious Mediterranean salad that can be meal prepped ahead of time? Without the soggy lettuce, this dense bean salad is delicious, high in fiber, and the flavor only grows throughout the week! This recipe makes eight equal servings divided evenly.

Ingredients

• 30 oz chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 15 oz cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups diced salami
• 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 medium cucumber, chopped
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, diced
• 4 oz Feta cheese, crumbled
• 4 oz Kalamata olives
• 1/3 cup pepperoncini (optional)

Dressing

• 2 oz extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 oz lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
• 1 tsp, Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp, salt

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, add the ingredients for the salad and toss.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and Italian seasoning.
3. Drizzle the dressing over the ingredients and toss again.
4. Refrigerate for 45-60 minutes before serving (I prefer to let it sit overnight for the beans and toppings to really soak in the flavor of the dressing).
