Pecorino and Bean Salad
A classic example of the type of salads you’ll find in Italy, this is easy to throw together and more impressive than the usual mixed green salad. Depending on the region, the type of cheese may differ. I love to nibble on chunks of Pecorino as I make it.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans and cook for 3 minutes, or until vibrant green but still crisp. Drain and place in a bowl of ice water for 1 minute. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a small nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, but not brown, about 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the rosemary and let cool slightly.
Step 3
Combine the green beans, cannellini beans, Pecorino cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper in a serving bowl. Add the garlic-rosemary oil and toss well, until all the ingredients are coated.
