"I make this simple salad often for summer barbecues," writes Denise Neal of Castle Rock, Colorado. "People always like it and ask for the recipe. It can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge. And it's good served cold or at room temperature." TIP: Use care when tossing the salad with the dressing to prevent the tender butter beans from getting crushed.

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces large jarred or canned butter beans, drained and rinsed
24 cherry tomatoes, each stabbed with a knife (so they don't pop in the oven)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, 2 thinly sliced and 1 peeled and left whole
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce (no anchovies)
12 slices baguette
Chives, cut into 1-inch pieces, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Arrange the butter beans on one side of a baking dish and the tomatoes on the other side. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the 2 sliced garlic cloves and a sprinkle of sea salt all over.
  • Sprinkle the sage only over the butterbeans and drizzle the Worcestershire sauce only over the tomatoes. Toss each section individually with a couple of spoons and keep separate, to keep the flavors separate.
  • Bake until the butter beans start to turn golden and the cherry tomatoes are soft and roasted, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  • Meanwhile, put the slices of baguette on a baking sheet, drizzle each with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and toast in the oven until golden, about 12 minutes. Then remove to cool.
  • When the toasts are cool, rub one side of each with the remaining whole garlic clove.
  • To assemble, lay some of the butter beans (about 4) on each toast, pressing down gently with a fork to slightly crush so they do not roll around. Arrange 2 roasted tomatoes on top and garnish with a few chives. Arrange on a serving plate and eat!
