Servings: 2 -3 servings
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can of cannellini or other white beans, drained & rinsed
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- Zest of 1 small or 1/2 a large lemon
- Juice of 1 small lemon you may need more
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped shallot or red onion adjust if that's too intense/too much
- 1 clove of garlic grated or minced finely
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt plus more to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano leaves
- If you have them chopped fresh basil & chives
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients in a medium bowl and toss to combine. Taste and season with more salt and pepper as needed, but realize that all the flavors will intensify as it sits so don't go overboard.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, but ideally a few hours or overnight. This gets better with time, so overnight or longer is even better so these are a great make-ahead option.
- These are best served slightly chilled or closer to room temperature vs. straight out of the fridge.
