This Vegetarian Cannellini Bean Quinoa Salad is served cold and is a hearty and fresh salad that can be served with your favorite salad dressing or with the dressing I used alongside some extra lemon juice for extra freshness! 

Like I said, you can add your own favorite salad dressing to make this Vegetarian Cannellini Bean Quinoa Salad or you can use the one I did. I really like this VEGAN salad dressing from Naked & Saucy a Vancouver company!

It gives the salad an UMAMI taste and is mostly made with olive oil, keto soya sauce, apple cider vinegar and lemon juice along with some seasonings. I also, like to add more FRESHLY squeezed lemon juice for added freshness.

It makes for an AMAZING Vegetarian Cannellini Bean Quinoa Salad

I’m addicted to making bean salads, they are super versatile, healthy and inexpensive. 

You won’t miss out on the meat protein either, that is a promise. With the addition of Quinoa you will meet all your dietary requirements in this dish.

You can omit the salad dressing above and add crumbled feta instead along with garlic powder, lemon juice and olive oil if desired that also is very good option for this salad.
