i'm only calling this "magical bean salad" because "bean salad" doesn't seem to do these beans justice.. NC just introduced me to the idea of a simple bean salad, and it has stuck... maybe these beans are magical, after all; i can't stop eating them! i've been eating beans every day for almost a week!
as with the other dishes i've been cooking, simplicity is key.. also, i think the truly magical ingredient is good olive oil. NC has graciously endowed me with the remains of this giant bottle of olive oil. i think this bottle of olive oil and i are going to be making beautiful music together...
- chickpeas or cannellini beans, either dried or canned
- carrots, chopped
- celery, chopped
- garlic, minced
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt & pepper
- fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- cook the beans until tender. i cooked my chickpeas for about 40 minutes in my magical pressure cooker!
- mix the beans with the rest of the ingredients. salt & pepper to taste.
