Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine drained and rinsed white beans with chopped fresh herbs, diced roasted red peppers, finely diced shallot, and minced garlic. Drizzle in extra-virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Season with kosher salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to taste. Gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
