Time 5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 14.5-ounce can white beans, drained but not rinsed
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
A squeeze of lemon juice
2 teaspoons wine vinegar (red or white)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dry Herbs de Provence (crumbled) OR 1 teaspoon of some combination of finely chopped rosemary, tarragon, thyme, and lavender
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Let the onion marinate in lemon juice: After you chop up the onion, squeeze a little lemon juice over it and let it sit while prepping the other ingredients. According to my mother, this will take the edge off the onion.
  • Combine all ingredients into a serving dish: You can serve right away if you want, but if you chill for a few hours, the flavors will come together better. Lasts a couple of days in the refrigerator.

Yield Serves 6 to 8 as a starter

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup dried small white beans, such as cannellini or Great Northern, or 1 15-ounce can
1 clove garlic
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
1 cup snow peas or sugar snap peas
1/2 bunch fresh chives, chopped
5 mild radishes, such as Lady Slipper radishes, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • 1. If you're using dried beans, first rinse them, picking out any stones, and place in a bowl. Cover with cold water and soak for 8 hours, or overnight, then drain the beans and place in a pot. Add the garlic and bay leaf and enough water to cover the beans by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, about 1 hour.
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, and shallot. Whisk to combine.
  • 3. When the beans are done, drain them well and place in a medium bowl. Discard the bay leaf and garlic clove. Add one third of the vinaigrette to the warm beans and toss; then let stand for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally. If using canned beans, rinse and drain them, then toss with the vinaigrette.
  • 4. In a small pot of boiling water, cook the snow peas or sugar snap peas for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, place them in a bowl of ice water. Drain, pat dry, and slice thin.
  • 5. In a large salad bowl, place the cooled beans, snow peas, chives, radishes, and basil. Pour the remaining dressing over and toss lightly. Serve immediately.

COLD BEAN SALAD

Ann Mulford's recipe for Two-Bean Salad doesn't disappoint. The Lincolnville, Maine, reader says, "This mixed salad sure is a winner. I make it a day or so ahead of time and it marinates in the refrigerator. It's simple, just stir every 12 hours." She adds, "And leftovers are great over rice or noodles."

EASY COLD GREEN BEAN SALAD



Easy Cold Green Bean Salad image

What makes this cold green bean salad so good is that the beans marinate while they are still warm--that way the beans soak up the vinaigrette and become more flavorful.
