Ingredients

2 cups dried white northern beans, soaked in water overnight (or 2 cans organic white beans) 2 cloves garlic 1 tsp ch (8cm) stem of rosemary (leaves removed), or 3/4 tsp dried (1g) 1 Tbs red wine vinegar 3 Tbs sherry vinegar 1/2 tsp salt (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*) 1/2 tsp ground black pepper 1/3 cup olive oil 1 each bunch arugula, washed, stems removed, and chopped fine 3 each #8211;4 Roma tomatoes, finely diced 1/4 cup chopped kalamata olives

Preparation

Drain and cook beans in simmering water until tender, about 40 minutes. (Beans have better flavor if you add 1/2 tsp (3g) each of salt and garlic powder or a spoonful of miso and a sprig of marjoram the last 15 minutes of cooking.) You can also use precooked, organic canned beans. In a blender or food processor, add the garlic, rosemary, vinegars, salt, and pepper. Blend while slowly adding the olive oil. Add the beans, arugula, tomatoes and olives to a large salad bowl. Pour desired amount of the dressing over and mix and combine. Serve at room temperature.
