Italian bean salad is a tasty and versatile dish that's appropriate for all seasons. It's simple to make and only requires a few ingredients, so it's a great recipe for when you need a meal that saves you time without sacrificing on taste. You could whip up this dish with cannellini beans, borlotti beans (also known as cranberry beans in English), or butter beans, which are commonly used in Italy for this purpose - or really any beans you have in your pantry.
