White Bean Salad
Chef Notes:
Cannellini Beans are meatier than navy or great northern beans, they have a nutty, earthy flavor and tender flesh, and are often used in Italian dishes like Minestrone. They retain their shape and texture well, so they’re perfect to use in salads, soups, stews, and chili.
Serves: 4
