Title: Marinated White Bean And Chipotle Chile Salad
Categories: Spice Salad Bean
Yield: 1 Servings

1	lb	White beans (navy, or
		Canellini)
1/2	c	Olive oil
1/3	c	White wine vinegar
2	tb	Dijon mustard
4		Chipotle chiles, soaked in
		Hot water for 20 min, seeded
		Julienned
2		Scallions (green onions),
		Chopped
2		Sprigs fresh oregano,
		Chopped, or
1	ts	Dried
		Salt and pepper

Wash beans, heat with 2 qt water, bring to boil and cook until just tender (ca 1 hr). Don't overcook them. Turn off, and let cool in the water. Drain.

Whisk the oil, vinegar and mustard together. Pour over beans in large bowl. Add chiles, scallions and oregano. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and mix well. Try not to break the beans (it's tough). Marinate refrigerated for at least 24 hours before serving. Serves 8-10. I lined the bowl with some endive (the Davis farmer's market has a vendor selling it pretty cheaply).
