Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup dried white beans, such as navy
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Put beans into a large bowl; cover with water by 2 inches. Cover with plastic wrap. Let soak at room temperature 6 hours (or overnight). Drain; rinse.
  • Transfer beans to a medium saucepan; cover with cold water by 1 1/2 inches. Bring to a simmer. Cook, covered, until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water, and let cool completely. Transfer to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
  • Add carrots, onion, tomatoes, and parsley to beans; toss well. Whisk together vinegar, thyme, sugar, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl until sugar has dissolved; season with pepper. Toss vinaigrette with bean mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate in an airtight container (or store in a chilled cooler) until ready to serve, up to 4 hours.

I'm not usually a big fan of bean salads, but this one is really good. The dressing is light and tangy, and the beans are perfectly cooked.

I made this salad with kidney beans instead of white beans and it was just as good. I also added some chopped red onion and it gave the salad a nice bite.
