30-minute Italian-inspired bean salad with fresh herbs - quick and hearty dinner option.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced (1 cup)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 2 cans (15 to 16 ounces each) cannellini beans, drained and 1/2 cup liquid reserved
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 4 cups bite-size pieces spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinaigrette or Italian dressing
  • 2 tablespoons bacon flavor bits
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet, warm up the oil over medium heat. Saute the carrots and onion for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp.
  • Add the beans, 1/2 cup of the reserved liquid, oregano, and pepper to the pot. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Arrange a bed of fresh spinach on a large platter. Spoon the flavorful bean mixture on top of the spinach. Drizzle the tangy vinaigrette dressing over the salad. Finish by sprinkling crispy bacon bits on top.
