WHITE BEAN CAPRESE SALAD



White Bean Caprese Salad image

Beloved pantry white beans add substance to this take on caprese salad, which comes together in no time. It's a perfect side for grilled chicken or fish, and can be easily doubled to work as a main course when it's too hot to turn on the oven. If you're so inclined, a handful of spicy arugula, thinly sliced roasted red peppers or ribbons of prosciutto - or all three - would also be nice additions. This dish is easily transportable and tastier when eaten while sitting in a lawn chair.

HEARTY THREE-BEAN-AND-HAM SALAD



Hearty Three-Bean-and-Ham Salad image

Growing up in the South, we were surrounded by three-bean salads, which are something of an aquired taste. We ate up Mama's beans and ham hocks, but give us kids a cold bean salad and we'd be out the backdoor. Well, now we've seen the error of our ways-plus canned beans seem to be better these days, less mushy and more flavorful. Here we toss them with spicy cheese and leftover ham for a main-course salad that's delicious served with Moist-and-Easy Corn Bread (page 45).

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound thick-cut ham steak (from your supermarket's deli counter), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
One 15-ounce can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
One 15-ounce can cut green beans, rinsed and drained
2 scallions (white and light green parts), chopped
4 ounces pepper Jack cheese, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (optional)
1 head Bibb lettuce

Steps:

  • To make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ham, kidney beans, chickpeas, green beans, scallions, and pepper Jack cheese (if using). Add the dressing and gently toss until combined.
  • For each portion, arrange 2 leaves of Bibb lettuce to make a bowl on a plate and fill with the bean salad.
  • This salad gets better as it sits (up to 4 days, refrigerated), so it's perfect for picnics and potlucks.
