Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local grocery stores or food markets in Nassau and across the islands. Look for canned white beans in the international or canned goods aisle. Fresh herbs like rosemary are best picked up from the produce section, and red wine vinegar can be found alongside other vinegars and salad condiments.
Preparation method
- Open the cans of beans and drain the liquid through a sieve.
- Rinse the beans gently under cold running water to remove excess sodium and let them drain completely.
- Peel the red onion and slice it into thin, 0.5 cm strips.
- Wash the tomatoes thoroughly.
- Halve the tomatoes and scoop out the seeds.
- Dice the tomato halves into 0.5 cm cubes.
- Remove the rosemary leaves from the sprigs and chop them finely.
- Off the heat, place the olive oil, sliced onion, and rosemary leaves into a large skillet.
- Set the skillet over medium heat and warm the mixture for 2 minutes.
- Transfer the onion and rosemary oil mixture into a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk in the red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the drained white beans and diced tomatoes to the bowl with the dressing.
- Toss everything gently to combine and serve immediately.
Observations
This salad offers a sophisticated blend of textures and aromatics. By warming the rosemary in olive oil, the onions are softened, allowing them to release their sweetness while imparting a distinct, fragrant herbal note to the creamy white beans.
