No, not all refried beans are vegan. Traditional recipes and many store-bought versions often contain lard (rendered pork fat). Be sure to check the ingredients list for lard or other animal products before purchasing or consuming refried beans.
Pinto beans are the most common choice for traditional refried beans, but you can also use black beans, kidney beans, or even a combination of different beans. Pinto beans tend to be creamier and mash up more easily, while black beans have a firmer texture.
If you want a creamier texture, you can add a few tablespoons of water to the mashed beans.

Canned white beans may not look exciting at first glance, but once you learn about their endless uses, you’ll be thrilled to have them in your cupboard! With their creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture and buttery flavor, these beans make White Bean Soup, Sun Dried Tomato Butter Beans, and many more recipes so heavenly.
This quick and easy White Bean Salad recipe is another way to use up a few cans of cannellini beans. It has fresh and vibrant Mediterranean flavors and is packed with plant protein, making it anything but boring.

Find the complete recipe with measurements in the recipe card below.
Add all of the white bean salad ingredients to a large mixing bowl and toss to combine. Give it a taste and add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
Looking for a little more flavor? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes, sumac, dried oregano, or za’atar, fresh basil leaves, and/or a splash of red wine vinegar and toss to combine.
Place the salad in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes or serve it right away. Enjoy!
You can swap the cannellini beans (white kidney beans) for an equal amount of navy beans, great northern beans, chickpeas or butter beans (lima beans).
Dry beans do work in this salad, although they aren’t as convenient as canned beans.
To make this recipe with dry beans, soak 1 cup of dry white beans in water overnight, then drain the water and add the beans to a medium saucepan. Cover with water and heat to a boil. Allow the beans to simmer until they’re soft and tender (1 to 1.5 hours), then drain and set aside to cool before using them in the salad.
Serve this creamy white bean salad as a satisfying side dish with any Italian-inspired main dish. I like pairing it with light vegan pastas, like my Lemon Pasta, Spinach Artichoke Pasta, or Lemon Asparagus Pasta, and a green salad or vegan Caesar salad on the side. This Vegan Tiramisu is always perfect for dessert!
Because of its light and refreshing flavors, this bean salad also pairs well with summer favorites. Bring it with you to the picnic, potluck, or barbecue, and enjoy it alongside vegan macaroni salad, veggie burgers, chickpea salad sandwiches, and more.
Yes! In fact, the flavors will be even better after letting this salad chill in the fridge. I recommend serving it within a few hours of assembly, although you can prepare it up to 1 or 2 days in advance.
The leftover bean salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Any longer and the vegetables will start to soften.
