A super easy white bean salad flavored with Tuscan ingredients like olive oil, basil, dried tomatoes, and roasted red peppers. It's a great potluck option since it stores so well and is almost better the next day.
Combine the beans, onion, pepper, dried tomatoes, basil, and garlic in a large bowl.
Mix the oil and vinegar until thoroughly combined. Pour over bean mixture, add half of the cheese and stir well. Add salt and pepper, tasting to adjust seasonings.
Transfer to a serving bowl and top with remaining cheese and a whole or chopped basil leaf, if you'd like.
Notes
*This equals about 3 cans of beans or 2 pints of freezer beans. If you would like to cook from dry, about 1 1/2 cups of dry beans would equal 4 cups.
