Tomato And White Bean Salad With Basil Recipes

TOMATO, BASIL, AND WHITE BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Combine beans, tomatoes, basil and salt in a bowl and season with pepper.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant but not browned (approx. 2 minutes). Pour over bean mixture and gently toss. Let stand 30 minutes or longer to allow flavors to meld. Can be covered and kept at room temp for up to 4 hours.

EASY TOMATO BASIL WHITE BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette, pulse tomato and garlic in food processor until smooth. (I love this mini one!) Add vinegar and oil and pulse to combine. Salt to taste.
• For the salad, cut cherry tomatoes in half, or cut larger tomatoes into thick wedges.
• In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes and white beans with the vinaigrette (I start with about half of the dressing and add more as needed).
• Just before serving, sprinkle with freshly torn basil, fresh cracked black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste, and drizzle with olive oil.
