Navy Bean Salad

Recipe Archive· Veggies

Navy beans, celery, onion and an Italian dressing are the start of this delicious dish.
What I love about this white bean salad is that it is so easy, and it’s good protein too. I have been highlighting some of my healthy soups, salads, and chilis this month, but I saved the best for last. This navy bean salad would make an excellent picnic salad because you can make it a day ahead. There is no dairy to worry about the extra time time until you serve it gives the flavors more time to marinate the beans. The most involved part of this side dish is letting the beans drain, chill and marinate. The whole family will ask for seconds.

It would make an excellent picnic salad because you can make it a day ahead; the extra time just gives the flavors more time to marinate the beans.

    Hey thanks for the recipe. I’ve got all these ingredients in the house too. Well, except pimentos, but I wouldn’t normally have them anyway! I never thought of using navy beans in a salad. They’re my go to for making baked beans.
