5-Ingredient White Bean And Pesto Salad Recipe - Mashed

To make this tasty salad, you'll first need to gather your ingredients. You will need two 15-ounce cans of cannellini beans (or Northern beans), grape tomatoes, an English cucumber, kalamata olives, and store-bought pesto. Check the label of your jarred pesto. Does it have added salt? If so, you are good to go and don't need any additional salt. If not, you will also want to grab some salt to season this salad.

We asked Hahn why she recommends an English cucumber here as opposed to the standard cucumber. She responded that she prefers "English cucumber for this because they are less watery but you can definitely substitute regular cucumber as well." We see why this would be important as excess water in this dish would make this overly soggy versus simply dressed. She also recommends that "If you don't have grape tomatoes on hand, any type of chopped tomato works just fine."
