Categories: Appetizers, Italian
Yield: 4 Servings

31 oz Cooked white beans (2 cans)
1/4 sm Red onion;
- very thinly sliced or
- finely diced
1/3 c Sun-dried tomatoes in oil;
- drained & chopped
1/3 c Extra virgin olive oil
1 ts Lemon zest
2 tb Fresh lemon juice
2 cl Garlic; finely minced
1 ts Dijon mustard
1 tb Maple syrup
1/2 ts Fine sea salt
1/2 ts Black pepper; freshly ground
1/4 c Fresh parsley;

2 tb Fresh basil; finely chopped
1 ts Fresh thyme leaves
1/4 ts Red chili flakes

Preparation time: 15 minutes

These Marinated Beans are so good that I made them 3 times in one
week for my family! They are low-effort, high-reward, and absolutely
bursting with summer flavour! Soaked in a bright lemon-Dijon marinade
with fresh herbs and aromatics, every bite is packed with
mouthwatering flavour.

To prevent the red onion from tasting very sharp, place it in a small
bowl of cold water, add 1 ts salt and let it soak for 5 to 10
minutes. Drain it well and pat dry. Feel free to prepare your
marinade while waiting on the onions.

Place the white beans in a large mixing bowl. Add the red onion and
chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Toss gently to distribute everything
evenly.

Marinade:

In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, lemon
zest, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, and
black pepper until well combined and slightly emulsified.

Pour the marinade over the bean mixture. Add the parsley, basil,
thyme, and red chili flakes. Using a spoon or silicone spatula,
gently toss until the beans are evenly coated. Mix carefully so the
beans stay mostly whole.

Cover the bowl and let the beans marinate for at least 1 hour at room
temperature if serving the same day, or refrigerate for 4 hours or
overnight for deeper flavour.

If chilled, let the beans sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes
before serving so the olive oil loosens and the flavors open up.
Taste and adjust with a little extra salt, lemon juice, or olive oil
if needed.
