Warm Chickpea and Green Bean Salad With Aioli image

You could use canned beans for this, but then you wouldn't have the broth to use for thinning out the aioli.

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked for 4 to 6 hours or overnight in 3 cups water
1 quart water
Salt to taste
1/2 pound green beans, ends trimmed
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped chives, or 3 or 4 scallions, chopped
4 radishes, sliced (optional)
1/3 cup aioli
Lemon juice as desired

Steps:

  • Drain the soaked chickpeas and combine with the water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, add salt to taste, reduce the heat and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until tender.
  • Steam the beans or blanch in salted boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes, until just tender. Refresh with cold water, drain, break in half or cut into 2-inch lengths and set aside.
  • Place a colander over a bowl and drain the chickpeas. Combine with the beans in a large salad bowl. Add the parsley, chives or scallions, and radishes. Season with fresh lemon juice if desired.
  • If the aioli is very thick, stir in 2 to 4 tablespoons of the hot bean broth. If it is not, discard the bean broth. Toss the aioli with the chickpeas and beans. Add more broth if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The warm chickpeas and green beans pair perfectly with the creamy aioli dressing. I added a touch of lemon zest to the dressing for an extra burst of brightness.
