- Prepare the Salad Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, grated carrot, chopped tomato, chopped apples, and thinly sliced onion. Sprinkle with a little salt to help release the juices and set aside for a few minutes.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the thick yogurt, coarse mustard, Italian seasoning, fruit vinegar, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined. Adjust the seasoning with salt, according to your taste.
- Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Add the cooked red beans and gently toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top of the salad for a fresh, herby finish.
- Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
