When Zo and I were wine tasting in El Dorado County Narrow Gate was serving sandwiches and a white bean salad.  There version was white beans, spinach, olive oil and salt.  I really loved it.  I loved it so much I had 3 servings.  It was such a simple and tasty salad.  When we got home I decide to make my own version which as you can see below is not quite as simple.  This is not because I felt Narrow Gate's version was lacking.  I just can not leave well enough alone.  Enjoy!


Ingredients:
15 oz white kidney beans (rinsed)
2 tbsp fresh Basil (chopped)
1 tsp fresh Thyme (chopped)
1 tsp fresh Oregano (chopped)
1 tbsp Spinach (chopped)
1 tbsp arugula (chopped)
2 tbsp black truffle oil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp 1 tsp volcanic Lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp Romano (freshly grated)
1 1/2 tsp Parmesan (freshly grated)
Kosher Salt (to taste)
Fresh crack pepper (to taste)
Red pepper flakes (to taste)

Toss all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl until evenly mixed.  Cover and chill until ready to serve.  Enjoy!
