    White Beans and Cherry Tomato Salad

    http://simplyrecipes.com/photos/white-bean-tomato-salad.jpg

    * 1 15-ounce cans of white beans, such as Great Northern or canelli beans, drained and rinsed
    * 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
    * 1/3 cup coarsely chopped parsley

    Dressing ingredients:

    * 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
    * 3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
    * 1 3-inch sprig of fresh rosemary
    * 3 anchovy fillets, coarsely chopped (omit for vegetarian option)
    * 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    * 3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
    * 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    * 1 teaspoon lemon zest
    * 1/4 cup of lemon juice


    1 Start by making the dressing. Put the garlic and rosemary in olive oil in a small saucepan. Heat on medium until the rosemary begins to sizzle. Remove the pan from the heat and let sit for 20 minutes, allowing the rosemary and garlic to infuse in the oil.

    2 Remove rosemary sprig from the oil, discard. Remove the garlic from the oil, reserving the oil. Add the garlic, anchovies (omit for vegetarian option), Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice to a food processor. Pulse until smoth.

    3 In a medium bowl, gently fold the garlic mixture in with the beans until they are well coated. Let sit for a few minutes for the beans to absorb. Gently mix in the reserved olive oil, tomatoes, and parsley.

    Serves 6 to 8.
