Reduce heat and simmer until beans are tender, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, whisk juice and grate zes of 1 small lemon; 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oile; 1 clove of garlic, crushed; 3/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, 1 diced plum tomato, 1 small onion, diced and 1 diced celery rib with leaves. Drain beans in colander; let cool slightly about 15 minutes. Add beans to parsley mixture; toss to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
