A wonderfully refreshing bean salad, great served alongside BBQ meats. Every now and again I'll add in a chopped tomato or two.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 (400 g) cans cannellini or butter beans
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juice of
1/2 cup basil leaves
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper

Directions

1
Drain the beans and rinse under cold water, drain well.
2
Into a food processor or blender, put the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, basil leaves, parsley leaves, cumin, salt and pepper.
3
Pulse for a few seconds so that there is still texture. Put the beans into a bowl and pour over the dressing, toss well.
4
If possible leave for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before serving -- but can be eaten right away and still be very flavoursome.

Very nice. . .refreshing is a good title for this one. None of the flavors truly stand out, they all just blend together nicely. Agree that tomatoes would be good in here as would some cucumber. Thanks for sharing! Made for MAKE MY RECIPE.

Wordeful salad! I boiled my own cannellini beans and halfed the recipe, otherwhise I followed the recipe as written. I liked the cummin in it, it added something different! I cut a fresh tomato in cubes and toss it. And that was my lunch for today! Easy, tasty and healthy. Thanks for a keeper!

Yum! I used butter beans and the dressing gave them such a subtle but interesting flavour. Would make a perfect summer side-salad for just about anything.
