Apple, Walnut and White Bean Salad with Lemon-Olive Oil Dressing

This salad pairs two of the most direct sources of soluble fiber on a produce shelf — apples and white beans — with walnuts, which bring a good amount of unsaturated fat and a pleasant crunch against the softer textures underneath.

The dressing stays simple: lemon juice, dijon, and olive oil whisked together, nothing heavier needed. Celery and red onion add sharpness, and a bed of arugula gives the whole thing a peppery lift. Because there's no cheese or creamy dressing involved, saturated fat stays low throughout while the fiber count climbs nicely from the beans and apple together.

It works well as a light lunch on its own or as a side next to grilled fish or chicken. If you're packing it ahead, keep the dressing separate and toss just before eating so the apple stays crisp.
