TUSCAN WHITE BEAN SALAD WITH SPINACH, OLIVES, AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• 1. To quick-soak the beans: Place the beans in a large pot with water to cover by 3 inches and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain, and rinse.
• 2. To cook the beans: Place the beans in a large pot and add enough water to cover by 3 to 4 inches. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until beans are tender but still firm. Drain and rinse the beans thoroughly. Set aside to cool.
• 3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook and stir until slightly brown, about 5 minutes.
• 4. Toss the beans, onion, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, and olives in a large bowl with the vinaigrette until just combined. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use or up to 1 day. If refrigerating, add the spinach just before serving.

SPINACH SALAD WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk together the sun dried tomato oil, red wine vinegar, honey and Dijon mustard.
• For a thicker dressing, you can add an oil packed or reconstituted sun dried tomato, and process in a blender or food processor.
• Put the baby spinach in a salad bowl, and toss with just enough of the dressing to lightly coat the spinach.
• Sprinkle the sesame seeds, dried cranberries, and sun dried tomatoes, if using, over the top, and serve.
• Alternatively, you can arrange the spinach on serving plates, drizzle with the dressing, then add the toppings to each plate. That way the cranberries and sun dried tomatoes won't sink to the bottom of the bowl, and makes a prettier presentation for a dinner party.
