Tuscan White Beans

4 1/2 stars. This is good although I didn't have fresh sage I added some dried but may use fresh another time or leave it out. The lemon flavour became a bit too strong when it was left a number of hours (from the zest). I did have to use chickpeas yet know it would be better with white beans so I did not rate it down based on that substitution. I used sweet onion, flat leaf parsley, unrefined extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, cayenne pepper to taste instead of crushed red pepper flakes, plus the rest of the ingredients. Made for ZWT7 Italy, for my team Food.Commandos

Very enjoyable! The flavors from the sage and lemon zest add a lovely dimension. Thanks for sharing! ZWT7

This was a great recipe! The only thing I changed was to sub fresh oregano for the sage (which was not available at the store and I have oregano growing in my sunroom.) ZWT7

I liked this recipe but didn't love it....mostly my own fault for overcooking my beans. I really did not care for the taste of the fresh sage in the dish...way too strong (possibly my sage?). The lemon zest was very nice though. I made mine with fresh beans (that got slightly too done) and found that with that consistency it made a great pita filling.

This was delightful. I made it exactly as posted, and really enjoyed the lemon juice with the olive oil. It is a favorite combination of mine. This makes a real healthy, flavorful lunch to bring to work. I will be making this again. Made for All New Zaar Cookbooks Tag Game.

I scaled down this recipe as there are only two of us. DH loved it and pretty much hoarded most of it for himself. Loved the fresh flavors of all the herbs. I can only imagine this would get better by letting it sit overnight. Made for the Babes of ZWT4.

Yummy salad I made for a healthy lunch. Enjoyed the combination of flavors although I left out the celery and used less salt. Made for ZWT 4.

Really nice light fresh salad. I love that it's low in fat and high in fiber. It's also the first time I got to use dage from my new herb garden! (yaay!) Great for cooking out and so easy to make! Made for ZWT4 on behalf of the Daffy Daffodils.

OMG! Every ingredient in here stands alone, but also blends with the others. I love beans, any way any shape, any flavor. I'd honestly never thought to eat them at room temperature. This is amazing. This is actually better the second day. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful. This is full flavored and most enjoyable. The fresh lemon gives it a brightness and pairs perfectly with the e.v. olive oil. I had to use dried parsley but I don't think it suffered greatly as it's really a minor player in this flavor symphony. Don't skip the red pepper flakes, it's such a small amount that it just supply's a very light note of warmth. I'll be making this a lot in the summer and I'm going to enjoy this batch right now just after Christmas.
