Warm Bean and Arugula Salad

INGREDIENTS :

  1. 1 ounce thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into ribbons
  2. 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  3. 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
  4. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 2 (15 ounce) cans white beans, rinsed
  6. 1/3 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
  7. 1/4 cup lemon juice
  8. 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  9. Freshly ground pepper to taste
  10. 8 cups arugula

COOKING DIRECTIONS :

  1. Cook prosciutto in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  2. Add oil to the pan and place over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, being careful not to brown the garlic, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in beans and broth; cook until heated through, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add lemon juice, parsley and pepper; stir to combine. Place arugula in a large bowl. Add the bean mixture and toss to coat. Top with the prosciutto.

Yield: 6 servings


MORE :

The saucy, lemony beans stand in for a warm dressing, coating the arugula and wilting it just a bit to mellow its naturally assertive character. Add a piece of warm crusty bread and a glass of crisp white wine to make this an excellent light supper.

Notes:

To Make Ahead

The bean mixture will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
