Summer bean salad are the perfect picnic foods. This particular recipe uses a combination of cannelini beans (white beans), a variety of fresh herbs, tomatoes, green onions, and peas. The longer this salad sits, the better it will taste because they ingredients have an opportunity to get to know one another. This salad is versatile so use whatever beans and veggies you have on hand (feta cheese would also lovely). Serve your summer bean salad with a beautiful slice of bread for soaking up that delicious vinaigrette.
Ingredients:
1 can of cannelini beans, drained and rinsed
fresh herbs, finely chopped (your choice)
1 large tomato, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
handful of pea pods (from my farmer's market and used for some crunch factor), chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
juice of one lemon
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
