EASY MEDITERRANEAN BEAN SALAD



Easy Mediterranean Bean Salad image

Easy three bean salad recipe packed with Mediterranean flavors from fresh herbs, capers, and a zesty Dijon garlic vinaigrette. Instead of mushy canned green beans, use fresh steamed ones, or swap them out for another type of bean. I chose to use cannellini beans! After dressing the bean salad, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, so that the beans can absorb the zippy dressing.

CANNELLINI BEAN SALAD WITH SHAVED SPRING VEGETABLES



Cannellini Bean Salad With Shaved Spring Vegetables image

Like pasta, cannellini beans are a good staple to have on hand in a city kitchen pantry, and an hour of gentle simmering is usually all it takes. Obviously, they take a little advance planning. You can't hurry a pot of beans, but you can cook them the day or even the morning before you need them. This a good habit to get into, as a small batch of freshly cooked beans is well worth the little effort it takes to get them cooked. (And by all means, use a real stovetop if you have one.) Don't cave and go the canned-bean route - save those for emergencies or camping trips.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons lemon juice, or as needed
Finely grated zest of half a lemon
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seed
4 to 6 anchovy fillets, rinsed and chopped
Salt
pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cups cooked cannellini beans, drained
Salt
pepper
Pinch red pepper flakes
6 to 8 large, fat asparagus spears, snapped and peeled
6 radishes
1 small fennel bulb, trimmed
1 small sweet spring onion, or a few scallions, finely chopped
Chopped parsley, basil or dill, for garnish

Steps:

  • To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients. Adjust lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
  • To assemble the salad, place the beans in a large bowl. Pour half the vinaigrette over the beans and toss lightly. Season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
  • Using a sharp mandolin - and a hand guard - carefully slice the asparagus spears lengthwise to about the thickness of a penny. Slice the radishes and fennel to the same thickness. Lay the shaved vegetables and chopped onion or scallions in a shallow bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and dress them very lightly with a few spoonfuls of vinaigrette, turning gently to coat.
  • Spoon the beans onto a serving platter or individual plates, then cover the beans with the shaved vegetables. Add a little more vinaigrette over the top. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, basil or dill.

ARUGULA AND CORN SALAD WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND WHITE BEANS



Arugula and Corn Salad With Roasted Red Peppers and White Beans image

Canned beans can also be used in this composed salad with a base of sweet corn and pungent arugula. Since you don't need a broth for this composed salad, canned beans will work, though I always prefer the flavor of beans I've cooked myself. I like to use a white bean, either a cannellini or a navy bean. I've always loved sweet corn with pungent arugula. I combine the two for a salad bed, which I top with the roasted peppers and beans. So the dish is really two salads, one on top of the other.

Categories     dinner, lunch, appetizer, side dish

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ear sweet corn
3 cups baby or wild arugula
2 red bell peppers, roasted
1 1/2 cups (1 can) cooked white beans, such as cannellini or navy beans, rinsed if using canned beans
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon slivered fresh basil (more to taste)
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Salt to taste
1 small garlic clove, pureed or put through a press
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan

Steps:

  • Steam corn for 4 to 5 minutes, until just tender. Remove from heat, allow to cool, and cut kernels off cob. Combine with arugula in a large bowl.
  • Remove seeds and membranes from roasted peppers and cut in 2-inch strips. Place in another bowl. Add beans, chives and basil and toss together.
  • Whisk together vinegars, salt, garlic, mustard, and olive oil. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the dressing and toss the rest with beans and peppers. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and allow to sit for at least 15 minutes and for up to 3 days (in the refrigerator).
  • Toss remaining dressing with arugula and corn. Line salad plates or a platter with arugula and corn mixture. Top with peppers and beans. Garnish with shaved Parmesan, and serve.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful salad, use homemade roasted red peppers instead of store-bought.
  • If you don't have time to roast your own peppers, you can use a jar of roasted red peppers from the store.
  • Be sure to drain and rinse the cannellini beans before using them in the salad.
  • If you want a more substantial salad, you can add cooked quinoa, rice, or pasta.
  • For a vegan version of the salad, use a plant-based feta cheese substitute.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, prepare it up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, bring it to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

This Cannellini Bean Salad with Roasted Peppers is a delicious and healthy salad that's perfect for any occasion. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's easy to make. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
