Warm Butter Beans Recipe
Description
The salad balances the softness and creaminess of warmed butter beans with the sharpness of diced red onion and the herbaceous note of fresh parsley. Hardboiled eggs add additional texture and protein, making the salad more substantial.
The dressing combines olive oil with pressed garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chili flakes for mild heat, honey for sweetness, and salt. This dressing complements the beans with bright acidity and a touch of spice, tying the ingredients together without overpowering them.
It serves well as a light main or side dish. The salad can be quickly assembled and enjoyed immediately or prepared in advance with eggs halved rather than diced to preserve freshness during storage.
Ingredients
- 3 butter beans 15oz cans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2/3 cup onion red, diced, about 1 small onion
- 1/4 cup parsley fresh, minced
- 2 egg hardboiled, diced
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, pressed
- juice lemon from 1 lemon
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp chili flakes
- 1 tbsp honey liquid
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, pressed garlic cloves, lemon juice, dijon mustard, chili flakes, honey and salt. Set aside.
- To a medium frying pan add 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Once warm, turn to medium-low and add the butter beans and a pinch of salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warm.
- Transfer the beans and any olive oil from the pan to a medium-sized bowl. Add the diced onion, minced parsley and diced hardboiled egg. Drizzle the dressing over top of the ingredients and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if desired. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- For meal prep, slice hardboiled eggs in half instead of dicing to keep them fresh longer.
- This salad can be stored and still tastes good when made ahead.
- Try pairing with other legume salads, such as black-eyed pea salad, for variety.
