    List of Ingredients




    1 1/2 cups dried Great Northern or other white beans, picked over
    1 1/2 tsp. salt
    2 bay leaves
    1 Tbsp. coriander seeds, crushed coarse

    For dressing:

    2 garlic cloves, if desired
    2 to 3 Tbsps. fresh lemon juice
    1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, or to taste

    1 cup thinly sliced red onion
    1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander sprigs or parsley leaves

    Recipe



    In a large saucepan combine beans with water to cover by 2 inches and add salt, bay leaves, and coriander seeds. Simmer beans, uncovered, stirring occasionally and adding more hot water if necessary to keep beans covered, 1 to 1¼ hours, or until beans are just tender but not mushy. Make dressing while beans are cooking: Mince garlic fine and in a large bowl stir together well with lemon juice and oil.

    In a colander drain beans, discarding bay leaves, and add to dressing. Toss salad and season with salt and pepper. Cool salad and stir in onion and herbs. Salad may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

    Serve salad at room temperature, thinning if necessary with 1 to 2 Tbsps. water. Makes about 5 cups.
