PUTTANESCA CHICKPEA-TOMATO SALAD
This recipe turns tomato salad into a meal by marrying creamy beans with some of the briny, salty ingredients found in pasta puttanesca, like tomatoes, capers, olives and garlic. While Parmesan isn't traditional to puttanesca, coarsely chopped pebbles of it add bursts of umami to this salad. Feel free to omit the cheese for a vegan dish, or embellish the mix with fresh or dried chile, tinned fish or more vegetables. This recipe is not only adaptable but also improves as it sits: The tomato juices mingle with the oil, olives and capers - and the beans drink it all up.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the tomatoes, chickpeas, parsley, Parmesan, olive oil, olives, capers, lemon juice and garlic. Season lightly with salt and stir once more. Let sit for 10 minutes or up to 2 hours at room temperature.
- Before serving, taste and add more salt and lemon juice until it tastes bright. The balance is largely dependent on your tomatoes. (This salad keeps for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
- Don't overcook the beans. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Let the salad cool completely before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish the salad with fresh herbs or crumbled cheese before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
- Experiment with different variations of the salad. You can add other vegetables, such as chopped cucumber or bell pepper, or different types of beans, such as black beans or kidney beans.
Conclusion:
This refreshing cannellini bean salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and refreshing salad, give this one a try!
