A delicious way to eat your greens. Cannellini beans are small white beans that can be found in most grocery stores. Serve this main dish salad with a loaf of crusty bread.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp salt (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 2/3 cups cannellini beans, cooked (one 15-ounce can, drained)
  • 16 oz mixed salad greens (one 16-ounce bag)
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomato halves, dried
  • Dressing:3 Tbs olive oil
  • 3 Tbs red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

  • Prepare sun-dried tomatoes by soaking in water for 15–30 minutes until soft.
  • Prepare dressing: In a small bowl or jar, combine oil, red wine, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  • In a small bowl, add one Tbsp dressing to beans and mix.
  • In a large bowl, combine salad mix with basil and the remaining dressing and gently toss.
  • Arrange greens on individual salad plates and spoon beans on top. Garnish with sun-dried tomatoes.

* Allergy notes: People following a corn-free diet should avoid iodized salt since it contains dextrose, which should be avoided by those allergic to corn.
