Dishes you make once and eat 2, 3, 4 or more times are my kind of dishes. This salad uses a medley of delicious fresh ingredients to fill your stomach and your palette with textures and flavors galore! It’s very easy to throw together and it’s great leftover. In fact I think it’s even better the next day since the flavors have time to marry.

This recipe is made using homemade Greek Dressing. Make a batch of the Greek Dressing ahead of time to use on this bean salad and then use it on your green salads throughout the week. I love it when a recipe does double duty!

Even though this Mediterranean Red Bean Salad is meant to be a side dish, it can easily become a main dish. Serve the bean salad in lettuce wraps or in a pita pocket for a filling vegetarian lunch.
