Step 1
Place the drained beans in a large bowl, so they are ready to be dressed.
Step 2
Slice each cherry tomato in half and add to the bowl with the beans.
Step 3
Cut the red onion lengthwise from root to tip into thin slices, then cut each slice in half crosswise to create bite-sized pieces, and add to the bowl.
Step 4
Tear the basil leaves into roughly 1-inch pieces by hand and add to the bowl; this keeps the basil tender and aromatic.
Step 5
Pour the 3 tablespoons lemon juice and 3 tablespoons olive oil into the bowl.
Step 6
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the salad, then stir gently with a wooden spoon until all ingredients are evenly coated, about 1 minute.
Step 7
Taste a spoonful, and add more salt or pepper if needed; the dressing should taste bright and slightly tangy.
