Refreshing Cannellini Bean Salad
By: Stardustannie

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
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.

Fantastic, a perfect example of the "less is more" type of recipe that is my favorite. Simple, clean flavors, and healthful. Thanks, Stardustannie! Made for PAC Fall 2008.

This was great and easy too!!!! I let it sit about a half an hour before serving. I used white beans, cuz that's all I could find. I also didn't have any more fresh basil, so just used some dried.

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.
