Sounds like a great soup! Yummy. Anyway, basil is my first choice for seasoning a salad. Enjoy.
Reply:Fresh thyme leaves - a healthy sprig(1/4 - 1/2 tsp of crumbled dry if you don't have fresh), finely minced garlic, with a slight drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

If you have time, I'd place the cooked white beans in a marinade of the the above mentioned spices, perhaps adding a pinch of sea salt -- then it can serve as a dressing for the salad as well. Either way should be quite tasty! Bon Apetit!

Reply:Use lime juice with cilantro and season with salt and fresh cracked pepper.
Reply:You don't need spice if you use a tasty salad dressing.
Reply:I suggest some garlic salt or parsley leaves.
Reply:Cumin goes well with carrots and should spice up the cabbage and the beans. Failing that you can't try something a bit different like Majoram, which is a little like oregano but lighter in flavour.
