Steps:
- 1. If you're using dried beans, first rinse them, picking out any stones, and place in a bowl. Cover with cold water and soak for 8 hours, or overnight, then drain the beans and place in a pot. Add the garlic and bay leaf and enough water to cover the beans by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, about 1 hour.
- 2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, and shallot. Whisk to combine.
- 3. When the beans are done, drain them well and place in a medium bowl. Discard the bay leaf and garlic clove. Add one third of the vinaigrette to the warm beans and toss; then let stand for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally. If using canned beans, rinse and drain them, then toss with the vinaigrette.
- 4. In a small pot of boiling water, cook the snow peas or sugar snap peas for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, place them in a bowl of ice water. Drain, pat dry, and slice thin.
- 5. In a large salad bowl, place the cooled beans, snow peas, chives, radishes, and basil. Pour the remaining dressing over and toss lightly. Serve immediately.
WHITE BEAN SALAD WITH GREEN OLIVES
Steps:
- Drain, rinse and drain white beans. Place in medium heavy saucepan and add onion halves (with cloves), bay leaf, and enough water to cover by an inch. Bring to the boil, reduce to barely a simmer, cover and cook 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper, and a little more water if none is visible when you tilt the pan, and cook another 2030 minutes until beans are creamy inside but still intact. Drain and remove onions and bay leaf. Let cool.
- Place white beans in a large bowl with olive, peppers, cucumbers, scallions and tomatoes. Make vinaigrette by placing vinegar in a small bowl and slowly drizzling in olive oil while whisking to form an emulsion. Pour vinaigrette over beans and vegetables, add parsley, and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve at room temperature.

WHITE BEAN SALAD WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER
This is the kind of substantial salad that's nice to have on hand, no matter the occasion. If you have time, it's best made with large dried white beans, such as cannellini, simmered at home. (It's great to have a pot of cooked beans in the fridge all summer long, for deploying in salads and soups.) But using canned beans is absolutely OK. The recipe calls for roasting the cauliflower, but it could also be cooked on a grill to impart some pleasant smokiness.

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.

Tips:
- Use canned beans for convenience: Canned beans are a great time-saver and just as nutritious as dried beans. Rinse them thoroughly before using to remove excess salt.
- Choose high-quality olive oil: The quality of your olive oil will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for extra virgin olive oil that is cold-pressed and has a fruity flavor.
- Add fresh herbs for extra flavor: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and parsley add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- Let the salad marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can marinate the salad for up to 24 hours.

White bean and olive salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make a white bean and olive salad that is sure to impress your friends and family.
