A refreshing and flavorful bean salad with Mediterranean-inspired ingredients, perfect for any occasion.
Combine the beans, bell pepper, artichoke hearts, onion, olives, hearts of palm, parsley, mint, and basil in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed for a consistent flavor in every bite.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference before adding it to the salad.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Toss the salad gently to avoid breaking the beans or other delicate ingredients.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir the salad occasionally while chilling to ensure even marination.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Pair the salad with crusty bread or as a side to grilled dishes for a complete meal.
