If you’ve spent even five minutes scrolling food content lately, you’ve probably landed on BeanTok — the corner of the internet convincing everyone (myself included) that beans deserve way more love. Between their fiber, protein, and ability to turn into a full meal with minimal effort, I’ve been intentionally trying to eat more beans — and this Italian Grinder Bean Salad instantly earned a spot on repeat.

This recipe was inspired by the viral grinder-style bean salads floating around online, but made my way: creamy, tangy, packed with bold Italian flavor, and incredibly satisfying without needing pasta or bread. It’s perfect for meal prep, summer lunches, or as a protein-packed side dish for grilling season.

If you love Italian Grinder-inspired recipes, then we have you covered. Not just with this grinder bean salad, but be sure to check out the Italian Grinder Pasta Salad, Italian Antipasto Salad, and Grinder Coleslaw.
