Sunnys White Bean Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high until it shimmers. Add the garlic and cook, stirring carefully, until it just starts to crisp and turn slightly golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the garlic to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon and set aside the garlic oil.
• Halve the avocados lengthwise, pit them, then slice each half lengthwise into two pieces. Peel the avocados, then cut into bite-size pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the beans, cilantro, lemon juice and reserved garlic oil. Gently toss to coat, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide among 4 shallow bowls or plates. Garnish with lemon zest, fried garlic and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.

Steps:

• Place beans, celery, red pepper, vinegar, and oil in a medium bowl. Toss until well combined. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Add basil and serve immediately.
• Morph: For a super quick white bean dip: puree the salad in a food processor or blender, add 1 or 2 dashes of hot sauce and serve on crackers or grilled bread.

Steps:

• In a medium pot on medium-high heat, add the olive oil, mushrooms, onion cubes and thyme. Saute until the mushrooms are tender and wilted, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the peppers and cook until they soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the mustard and move it around the pot so it basically coats everything and disappears. Add the stock and beans. Lower to a simmer and cover. Let cook, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the sprig of thyme, then add the kale, if using, and stir. Serve with a spritz of lemon and a shake of hot sauce.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine all ingredients and season with salt and pepper. Toss together and serve.

Steps:

• Skewer the shrimp onto metal skewers and place on a baking sheet.
• Whisk together 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon of the minced garlic, a big pinch of pink Himalayan salt and freshly ground pepper to taste in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the shrimp and stir thoroughly to coat both sides of the shrimp. Let marinate for 20 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Grill the corn until slightly charred and grill marked, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Let cool, and then cut the kernels off the cob.
• Grill the shrimp until grill marked and pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Let cool, and then remove from the skewers and slice in half crosswise.
• Combine the corn kernels, beans, shrimp, cilantro and pink Himalayan salt to taste in a large bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the juice of 2 limes, the remaining 1 tablespoon minced garlic and freshly ground pepper to taste. Gently toss to combine. Let chill at least 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast on the top rack until nicely browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Make the dressing: Put shallot in a small bowl with mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, vinegar and ground fennel, if using. Stir well to combine, then whisk in olive oil. Season to taste.
• Make the salad: Put beans in a low salad bowl. Add celery and cauliflower, pour the dressing over and toss well, taking care not to crush beans. Let salad rest for 30 minutes or so to meld flavors. Taste and adjust for salt, acid and oil. Add parsley and scallions, toss once more, then serve at room temperature.
