Ingredients

  • 4 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 bunch arugula, thick stems removed, washed and dried
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • Handful washed basil leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 20 grinds black pepper

Directions

Empty the cans of beans into a colander and rinse them briefly under cold water. Drain thoroughly and empty the colander into a large serving bowl. Toss the beans together with the red onion and arugula.

Shake the olive oil, vinegar, chopped basil, salt and pepper in a sealable container until the salt is dissolved. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. It's best to make and dress the salad about an hour before you serve it. Let it stand at room temperature, tossing every time you think about it. Just before serving, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.

    Delicious! And vegetarian/vegan friendly as well

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    What a delicious salad. I have to cook for lots of vegans and vegetarians and this was perfect for everyone and delicious! I... have also made this with little bits of salami added in and finished witha brief shving of parmesan cheese.. cause I do eat meat and dairy. Great salad either way!Read more

    I have prepared this salad twice, and each time it has been a hit. The combination of ingredients is striking.

    A Little Disappointing

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    Very simple recipe--not much more than beans and arugula basically--but a little disappointing. It was a little bland to be... honest and I think I would prefer lemon juice to the vinegar--would have brightend it up I think; plus the balsmaic turned the beans a little dark.Read more
