Green and White Bean Salad

Green and White Bean Salad

I love this recipe! It is so simple, with easy ingredients and it can be made ahead and refrigerated.  Plus it is light, fresh and packed with nutrients.

The original version adapted from Giada de Laurentiis, has pecorino cheese (similar to Parmesan), which can get a bit pricey.  So, I substitute it with what I have on hand, which is either goat cheese (a great dairy free option) or feta cheese. Either of the three cheeses is great with this, or you could leave them all out.

This would make a perfect picnic item. It actually gets even better the longer it marinates.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
  • 2 cups shelled edamame beans

  • 5 ounces goat or feta cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds, until fragrant (don’t brown it). Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the rosemary. Set aside and let cool.
  2. Combine the beans, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper in a serving bowl. Add the oil and garlic mixture and toss well until all the ingredients are coated.
  3. Serve room temperature or chilled.

    I’m not familiar with cannellini beans. It appears to be similar to white beans or kidney beans. Have you tried the recipe with either of these instead?

      Similar to a white northern bean.

    This looks so awesome! I can’t wait to try this nutrious recipe. Also,there is a place right off of Nolensville road that sells authentic Turkish Feta cheese in a 1 lb. block for only about $5. Ask him for the Feta that comes in bucket. The place is called Noor International Market and is located at 540 Paragon Mils Rd. Totally worth the trip for delicious, fresh feta!
