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.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt, pepper, and garlic powder and it was much better. I would also recommend using a different type of vinegar in the dressing, such as apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar.

This salad was a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables. They loved the bacon and beans, and they didn't even notice the vegetables. I would definitely make this again!
