A refreshing and flavorful Turkish white bean salad known as Piyaz, perfect for a light and healthy meal or side dish. This Mediterranean-inspired dish features white beans, red onion, tomato, and parsley, all tossed in a tangy dressing with a hint of sumac.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Salad:

  • 2 cups cooked white beans (such as cannellini or navy beans)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

For the Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sumac (optional but traditional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For Garnish:

  • 1 hard-boiled egg, quartered (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the white beans, sliced red onion, diced tomato, and chopped parsley.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar or lemon juice, sumac, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  3. Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and toss gently to combine without breaking up the beans.
  4. Let the salad sit for at least 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with quartered hard-boiled egg if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can use canned beans for convenience—just rinse and drain well.
  • Add chopped cucumbers or green peppers for extra crunch.
  • For a more traditional touch, drizzle with tahini before serving.
