White & Green Bean Salad with Tomatoes & Basil

France Ruffenach

Servings:six to eight.

Use the biggest white beans you can find. I like fat Emergo beans; they’re creamy and mellow, with a rich, nutty flavor.

Preparation

  • In a deep, heavy-based pot, cover the beans with 6 to 8 cups cold water. Add the thyme, garlic, onion, carrot, and 1 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, skimming any foam that rises to the surface. Cover and cook until the beans are tender, about 90 minutes; let cool in the broth.
  • In a large bowl, combine the shallot, anchovies, vinegar, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Whisk in the olive oil until well combined. Drain the white beans and add them and the tomatoes to the bowl. Toss to coat the vegetables well with the dressing. Let stand at room temperature for 2 to 4 hours.
  • Cook the green beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and spread on a paper towels to cool. When ready to serve, add the cooled green beans to the white beans and then the basil, tossing well after each addition. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

Make Ahead Tips

You can cook the white beans up to a day ahead of assembling the salad. Refrigerated the cooled beans in their broth. and bring to room temperature before assembling the salad.)

    确实很好吃。将爱的味道ots and anchovies give. I added a handful of capers and it gave a really nice kick. Paired with a fresh crusty bread for a wonderful dinner.

    This is really good when summer vegetables are at their peak. Fresh green beans and ripe tomatoes make the dish. I used a little bit of anchovy paste instead of the actual fish. Worked like a charm. I need to remember to make this more often!

    This salad is delicious - the anchovies in it are a really nice touch. I'm sure the method of cooking the beans with aromatics is great, but I have to confess that I made it to use up leftover canned white beans - and it was still great. Paired with crusty French bread for a nice light dinner.
