Instructions

1. Combine the drained white beans, fresh herbs, roasted red peppers, shallot, and garlic in a large bowl.

3. Gently toss everything until the beans and vegetables are evenly coated with the marinade.

4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For deeper flavor, refrigerate overnight.

5. Toss the Marinated White Beans again before serving.

6. Transfer leftovers to a sealed container and refrigerate.

Notes

Navy beans work especially well because their smaller size and firm texture help them hold their shape.

Cannellini, Great Northern, or butter beans also work well.

Use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs for the freshest flavor and texture.

You can change the herb combination according to your preference.

Fresh red bell pepper can replace roasted red pepper. However, it gives the recipe a crunchier and more vegetal flavor instead of the softer, sweeter, slightly smoky taste of roasted peppers.

For deeper flavor, marinate the beans overnight.

Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Serve the beans on their own, over toast, on crostini, in leafy salads, or with grilled meat, chicken, shrimp, or fish.
