Ingredients
- 8 ounces green beans, cut into 1 to 2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
- 1 head Romaine lettuce, torn
- 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup pitted black olives
- 1/2 red onion, cut into slivers
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 ounce shaved Parmesan (about 1/2 cup)
Directions
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans and stir. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until beans are slightly tender. Transfer the cooked green beans to a bowl of ice water and let cool for 3 minutes. Drain the green beans.
In a large bowl, combine the green beans with the lettuce, cannellini beans, olives, and red onion. Toss to combine. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Top with shaved Parmesan and serve.

Followed the recipe exactly and was disappointed. It sounded good and had good reviews so I made it, but it was missing flavor. The dressing needed something else...not sure what. Probably won't make again.

I've made this salad for years it's so good and hearty thanks to the white beans. I serve this salad as a side for grilled meats or pasta dishes.

Absolutely delicious!! I've made this so many times I can't even remember. I also made this for a dinner party and one of the guests called it "no ordinary salad".
I'm not usually a fan of beans, but the creaminess of the canellini beans in this salad made a big fan out of me. I love the combination of romaine with red onions and black olives. Yum. Yum. Yum!
Sometimes I top this with an awesome salad dressing which I got from Rachel Ray which consists of equal parts: olive oil, rice wine vinegar, orange juice, along with sauteed shallots, and a tablespoon of brown sugar. It's always a hit!
