Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can Cannellini Beans
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup Green Olives (Nocellara or Castelvetrano)
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Shavings
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Basil
  • 1 tablespoon Capers
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Anchovy Paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 can Albacore Tuna (optional)
  • 1 loaf Crusty Bread

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse the cannellini beans under cold water, then drain them well. Next, chop your cherry tomatoes in halves, dice the red onion, and slice the olives if necessary.
  2. Chop the Fresh Herbs: Finely chop the parsley and basil, letting the fragrant aroma fill your kitchen.
  3. Mix the Salad Components: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained beans, tomatoes, sliced olives, diced red onion, chopped parsley, and basil.
  4. Create the Flavor-packed Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic (minced), anchovy paste, capers, kosher salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and red wine vinegar until well-combined.
  5. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over your salad mixture and gently toss everything together.
  6. Add the Tuna (Optional): If you are opting for a heartier salad, gently fold in the drained tuna.
  7. Final Touch and Serve: Let the salad rest for about 5 minutes to meld flavors, then serve with shavings of parmesan on top.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh. Add herbs just before serving for maximum flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
