How to cook deliciously - White Bean and Cherry Tomato Salad

1. Stage

Infuse rosemary in olive oil: Place the garlic and sprig of rosemary in the olive oil in a small saucepan. Heat the oil on medium until the rosemary begins to sizzle. Remove the pan from the heat and let sit for 20 minutes, allowing the rosemary and garlic to infuse in the oil.

2. Stage

Make the dressing: Remove the rosemary sprig from the oil, and discard. Reserve the oil. Add the drained garlic, anchovies (omit for vegetarian option), Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to a small food processor or mini chopper. Pulse until smooth.

3. Stage

Mix the dressing with the beans: In a medium bowl, gently mix the garlic Parmesan lemon mixture in with the beans until the beans are well coated. Let the beans sit for a few minutes so they absorb some of the dressing.

4. Stage

Mix the olive oil, tomatoes, and parsley: Add the reserved olive oil, tomatoes, and parsley and gently mix the salad. Serve.
