White Bean and Celery Salad Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. dried white beans (haricot, cannellini, navy, or butter beans) or
    3×14 oz. cans white beans
  • 4 ½ cups vegetable stock, made from a cube
  • 3 stalks celery, cut into ½ in strips
  • ½ cup French Dressing
  • 3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper

Cooking Instructions:

 

  • 1. If using dried beans, cover with plenty of cold water and soak for at least 4 hours. Discard the soaking water, then place the beans in a heavy saucepan. Cover with fresh water, bring to a boil, and simmer without a lid for 1 ½ hours, or until the skins are broken. Cooked beans will squash readily between a thumb and forefinger. Drain the beans. If using canned beans, drain, rinse, and use from this stage in the recipe.
  • 2. Place the cooked beans in a large saucepan. Add the vegetable stock and celery bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Toss the beans with the dressing and leave to cool.
  • 3. Add the chopped parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper.

COOK’S TIP:

  • Dried beans that have been kept for longer than 6 months will need soaking overnight to lessen their cooking time. As a rule, the less time beans have been kept, the shorter the soaking and cooking they need. The times given here are suited to freshly purchased beans.

    Yum-oh! But I highly recommend sitcking with the non-canned beans. With a slow cooker you can get a batch done without any effort, and freeze what you don’t need for later. Much better flavor and texture and no BPA!!
