📝 Preparation Steps
1
Drain the beans. Drain your beans in a colander and run cold water over them until they are completely clear of the canning liquid. Shake off any excess water and add them to a large salad bowl.
2
Assemble the rest. To the beans, add the pepperoni, cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper, mini mozzarella balls, black olives, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and parmesan cheese. Toss well to combine.
(100g) mini pepperoni (quartered (about ¾ cup))3.5 ouncescherry tomatoes (quartered (about ¾ of a pint))1 cup(227g) boccocini cheese* (drained and quartered (also known as fresh mozzarella pearls or mini mozzarella balls))8 ounces
3
Make the dressing. Add the olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and black pepper to a small glass jar or mini blender. Use a mini frother (or small blender/food processor) to mix the dressing until emulsified.

4
Dress the salad. Pour the dressing over the bean salad, and toss until everything is evenly coated in the vinaigrette. Taste and adjust the salt, pepper, and other ingredients to your liking. Remember that it should taste bright and pronounced; if it’s a bit flat, add a bit of salt, toss, and taste again. The salad will taste best after chilling.
5
(Optional) Chill for ⏱️ 30-60 minutes. To allow the flavors to marinate and meld together, we recommend chilling the salad for about ⏱️ 30-60 minutes. Taste, and adjust as needed before serving. Adding salt to taste is important because canned beans vary wildly in salt content and may need a little more (or a little less).
