FAQ

Is this salad vegan and gluten-free?
Yes. It’s plant-based and naturally gluten-free, though check any packaged add-ins for gluten.
How many servings does this yield?
About 4 servings as a side or 2 as a light main.
What are the main health benefits of this salad?
High in fiber from beans and vegetables, with plant-based protein; tomatoes add polyphenols that support gut health.
How should I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
Can I substitute white beans if I have a legume allergy?
If you need to avoid legumes, try cooked quinoa or diced cucumber/avocado as a base; this changes texture and nutrition.
Can I freeze this salad?
Freezing isn’t ideal for a tomato-herb salad; best to enjoy fresh. If you freeze, expect texture changes.
What herbs and dressings pair well with it?
Fresh parsley, basil, or dill; a light lemon-olive oil dressing works well and preserves polyphenols.
How can I make it more filling or protein-rich?
Add more beans, or toss in cooked quinoa or barley, plus seeds or nuts for crunch.
Are there any common allergens to watch for?
Dairy- and meat-free; check dressings for nuts, seeds, or mustard. Those with bean sensitivities should test first.
How can I adjust the flavor if it’s too tart or bland?
Increase olive oil or lemon juice to balance; a touch of honey or maple can mellow acidity.
