Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, sugar, dried cilantro, dried basil, and dried tarragon until well emulsified. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a separate, larger bowl, gently combine the drained and rinsed cannellini beans, diced Roma tomato, finely diced red onion, and cooked shrimp. (5 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Pour the vinaigrette over the salad mixture. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. (2 minutes)

04

Step
2 hrs

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. (2+ hours)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the vinaigrette.
Fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, or chives, can be substituted for the dried herbs for a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
If you don't have red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar or even a squeeze of lemon juice can be used as a substitute.
This salad is also delicious served over a bed of mixed greens.
For a heartier salad, add some chopped avocado or crumbled feta cheese just before serving.

    My family devoured this! I didn't have tarragon, so I used a bit of oregano and it was still delicious.

    Easy to make and perfect for a light lunch. I'll definitely be making this again.

    The overnight chilling really makes a difference. The flavors are so much more pronounced the next day.

    I added some chopped cucumber and it was a great addition!
