Italian cannellini beans are creamy white. When cooked, they have a soft texture and a slightly nutty flavor. Available all year round, in winter, organic dried cannellini beans are the better choice. In summer, canned cannellini beans are perfect as they are ready to use. Rich in protein and vitamins, cannellini beans are a healthy food, one of the bases (like all legumes) of the Mediterranean Diet.
This recipe is very easy and gets ready in a few minutes, with ingredients available in your garden or pantry. A good extra virgin olive oil is the base seasoning for an excellent and healthy salad.
