Mashed white bean salad – 5-minute, vegan

Here’s something you can make with white beans – this tasty mashed vegan salad to put on toasts or in wraps! You only need a few basic ingredients, a food processor and 5 minutes!

Me, lentils, chickpeas and beans have been on a break for a while. It was sad and there were tears on both sides, we're not gonna lie.

But lately, we’re getting back together. We see some signs. Chickpeas have already seduced us a couple of times (as you can see here and here), white beans did it as well, as you’ll see here and we just made a giant pot of lentils.

And they’re soooo good. Nothing too overwhelming – lentils, some spice, tomato paste and some garlic. A M A Z we N G.

OMG we missed you guys, welcome back into our life.

Now let’s give those white beans the attention they deserve.

Because minus the million years they need to cook properly, so they don’t turn you into a farty party gas station – white beans are pretty much solid.

They’ve got fiber, they’ve got iron, they’ve got protein & they’ve got style.

Now because we're an impatient person, who’s aging faster than a dog and hears that inner clock ticking all the time – we do not cook beans.

Since probably 5 years.

Life’s too short to cook your own beans, you know?

So what do we do?

The same thing we did here – we bought canned (or in this case jarred).

And now, this white bean salad literally takes 5 minutes.

You rinse and drain the beans, you peal some garlic, add some vegetables, herbs and spices and pulse a few times in a food processor. Then you call it a mashed vegan salad for sandwiches, toasts, wraps – however you wanna use it.

We put it on toast and it was satisfying.

Did we smell like garlic?

Oh, yeah. Nothing new under the sun.

But if you’re one of “those” – don’t add fresh garlic.

Now onto the healthy vegan white bean salad!

Aaand that was it! We don’t have much more to say this week (been on a break myself) but we'll be back next week with an update for our 30-Day Morning Workout Challenge, new recipe and probably a workout!
