Step-by-Step Instructions
- Wash your fresh vegetables thoroughly. Dice the green and red bell peppers into uniform ½-inch pieces. Halve the cucumber and slice it. Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
- Rinse the fresh herbs, finely chop the parsley, and thinly slice the mint and basil leaves. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, mince the garlic, add Dijon mustard, lemon juice, sugar, and whisk in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Rinse the canned beans under cold water, drain well and place them in a large bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the warm beans and gently toss.
- Add diced bell peppers, cucumber, red onion, capers, and the herb mixture to the bowl with the beans. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
