I love a good bean salad and one of my favorites that I make is my Canellini Bean Salad with Herb Vinaigrette. It is the perfect salad for summer and the perfect addition to your BBQ, picnic or potluck and everyone always enjoys it. So beautiful to look at too. With this recipe, you can substitute canellini beans with chick peas and it is just as good, even add fresh Parmesan on top. Either way it is very refreshing and fulfilling. Hope you like it!
Serves 6
Vinaigrette
3/4 cup Italian flat leaf parsley, finely minced
1/4 cup cilantro, finely minced
1 garlic clove
1 juicy lemon
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Note: you can use any combo of herbs you would like, like basil and thyme, as long as it measures out to 1 cup.
Salad
2 14oz can of canellini beans, rinsed and drained
8-10 oz cherry tomatoes, each cut in 4
You can place all ingredients in a food processor or mini chopper but using a knife for the herbs should be fine as long as you do a fine mince. In a small bowl, place all of your vinaigrette ingredients, whisk and set aside. In another larger bowl place salad ingredients and pour in all of the vinaigrette. Toss together and taste for salt.
Enjoy!
