Salmon and White Bean Salad
This is barely a recipe, more something I threw together when it was dinner time and I hadn't been to the grocery store and didn't feel like eating out. But since everyone needs more recipes for those haven't-shopped/don't-feel-like-cooking moments in life, I decided to post this. I've even created a category for these not-quite recipes ("Real Fast Food" after Nigel Slater's excellent book of the same title. Which is full of great recipes for those haven't-shopped/don't-feel-like-cooking moments.)
Take the following:
- 1 15 oz. can salmon, drained
- 1 can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 bottled roasted red peppers, diced
- A couple of tbsp. fresh dill, chopped
- A few dollops whole-grain or Dijon mustard. (mustards vary so much in their sharpness that quantities are difficult. Taste as you go.
- juice of 1 lemon
Stir everything together in a bowl until combined, taste, and add salt, pepper, mustard, lemon juice, whatever. Some red or green onion would probably be great in this. It would have been most delicious served with some dark rye bread and/or some nice crunchy romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves, but we didn't have any.
