This salad captures the essence of the season with its bright flavors and crisp textures. Lupini beans, rich in protein, pair beautifully with juicy tomatoes and tender zucchini, creating a wholesome and satisfying dish! Spice things up with a Calabrian chili vinaigrette, which adds a delightful kick and touch of heat while balancing out the raw elements of the salad. Best of all, this salad is easy to assemble, making it an ideal choice for a quick lunch or a refreshing side dish at your next summer BBQ.
