About this recipe

This refreshing, no-cooking-required white bean salad recipe is bright, herby, and full of Mediterranean flavor. Made with creamy cannellini beans, juicy cherry tomatoes, green olives, and a zippy garlic vinaigrette featuring Kikkoman® Umami Joy Sauce, it’s the kind of quick and easy dish that works for everything—from summer lunches to picnic spreads. If you’re looking for a Tuscan white bean salad, a tomato and white bean salad, or even a simple marinated white bean salad, this one’s a keeper.

Tips and Tricks
• Let the salad chill for 20–30 minutes so the flavors can really soak in.
• Swap green olives for Kalamata olives if you like a bolder bite.
• Add crumbled feta for a creamy, salty upgrade.
• This Italian white bean salad keeps well—great for meal prep.

THE STORY OF SOY SAUCE

Even people who love soy sauce and use it all the time are often surprised to learn what it is and how it’s made. We make ours from just four simple ingredients—water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. Those ingredients are transformed through a traditional brewing process—much like making wine or beer—that has remained unchanged for centuries.
