RED BEAN SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND FRESH HERBS



Red Bean Salad With Walnuts and Fresh Herbs image

This is inspired by a number of red bean recipes from Georgia (the country, not the state). Walnuts, herbs, garlic and pomegranate juice show up in many Georgian dishes. I used pomegranate molasses, which is more of a Middle Eastern ingredient, in the dressing, and I love the sweet and sour tang it introduces to the dish. I prefer using small red beans that I've cooked myself, but in a pinch you can make this with canned red kidney beans.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices thick-cut bacon (about 4 ounces), sliced into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup fresh dill
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
One 15-ounce can Great Northern or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 heart of romaine, cut into bite-size pieces
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Toss the bread, olive oil, a pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet until combined, then spread into an even layer. Bake until the croutons are golden brown and well toasted, tossing halfway through, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the bacon to a medium skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp and well browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon to drain.
  • For the dressing, puree the basil, parsley, dill, mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons water, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a food processor until the herbs are finely chopped and dressing is bright green. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper.
  • To assemble, add the beans, romaine, tomatoes, half the croutons and half the bacon to a large bowl. Add half of the herb-mayo dressing, then toss to combine. Transfer to a large serving bowl or platter, top with the remaining croutons and bacon and drizzle with the remaining dressing.

Tips:

  • When selecting beans, opt for fresh, tender beans with a bright green color and no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • For the vinaigrette, use a good quality olive oil and vinegar. A fruity olive oil, such as extra virgin olive oil, will add a delicious flavor to the dressing.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can substitute dried herbs. Use about 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • To toast the walnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and lightly browned.
  • To assemble the salad, combine the blanched beans, vinaigrette, herbs, walnuts, and cheese in a large bowl. Toss to coat.
