Flavorful bean salad that everyone loves

Most everyone loves a little antipasto, right? I took my favorite Italian inspired appetizer board and combined it with a protein packed bean salad and this white bean antipasto salad is now our go to all summer long. If you love light and fresh meals in the hot summer, see these cool recipes for hot weather.

I have a feeling we'll be making it through the winter and holidays as well. It is just so easy to make, and for a last minute addition to a menu or just a simple dish that literally takes minutes, this one is impressive.

Brightly colored and vibrantly flavored, antipasto salad just might become your new favorite, too.

The easiest salad to make

This antipasto salad basically involves whisking the dressing, chopping an onion, and assembling the rest of the ingredients. If you buy quartered artichoke hearts, that's one step already completed! 

Pepperoncini peppers are available already sliced as well, and you can slice the olives or leave them whole. 

The best olives for charcuterie and antipasto

Kalamata olives are a must for a super flavorful salad, antipasto or charcuterie board. My second favorite olive is the bright green castelvetrano olive. These have a slightly firmer bite, and are buttery and smooth in addition to the classic briny olive zing. 

Both olive varieties are included in this white bean antipasto salad recipe, and both add great flavors and texture.

Meal prep and storage suggestions

If you meal prep, this fresh white bean antipasto salad is a great make ahead recipe. 

Make a batch of this bean salad ahead of time and refrigerate in a glass container with a tightly fitting lid. 

My rule for maximum flavor and freshness is to enjoy this antipasto salad within three to five days.
