Categories     salads and dressings

Time 2h

Yield 6 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound dried navy beans
6 cups cold water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 pound slab bacon, cut into 1/2-inch slices and then into 1/2-inch lardons
1 medium-size onion (4 ounces), peeled and chopped
6 cloves garlic, peeled, crushed and chopped (1 tablespoon)
1/2 cup chopped parsley
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Wash the beans and remove and discard any damaged ones or any foreign material. Place the beans in a pot with the cold water and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Let cool to lukewarm. (There should be only a little water remaining.)
  • Place the lardons in a saucepan and saute over low heat, covered, for about 8 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 5 seconds. Add the contents of the saucepan, fat and all, to the beans with their remaining cooking liquid. Add the parsley, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper to tastes and mix well. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • If you don't have canned beans, you can cook your own. Just soak 1 cup of dried beans overnight, then drain and rinse them. Add the beans to a pot with 3 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon. Just be sure to blot it dry before adding it to the salad.
  • If you don't have red onion, you can use yellow or white onion instead.
  • For a tangy flavor, add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing.
  • If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
