Ingredients

Servings
  • 800 g cannellini beans 30 oz, drained, canned

  • 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh

Dressing

  • 80 ml extra virgin olive oil ⅓ cup
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste, freshly ground

Notes

  • Always use fresh dry beans, as old stale beans will take forever to cook (and sometimes remain hard).
  • You could make a large quantity of beans, then freeze them in small bags for quick defrosting, to use later.
  • Storing - the salad will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours
