Fresh Zucchini and White Bean Salad
0 mins
Easy
This vibrant salad balances the crisp, garden-fresh bite of raw zucchini with the creamy, satisfying texture of cannellini beans. It’s a bright, plant-forward meal that feels both light and deeply nourishing.
A refreshing, fiber-rich salad that takes 15 minutes to assemble. Perfect as a standalone lunch or a vibrant side dish for summer evenings.
For the best texture, sprinkle a pinch of salt over your zucchini ribbons and let them drain in a colander for 10 minutes before tossing. This removes excess moisture and keeps the salad crisp, not soggy.

Yes, but dress it just before serving to maintain the zucchini's crunch.
Simply omit the cheese or replace it with nutritional yeast for a vegan version.
Cannellini beans are preferred for their creaminess, but chickpeas make a great alternative.
