Ingredients

  • Dressing:
  • A zesty blend of freshly squeezed lemon juice and tangy red wine vinegar.
  • Finely minced shallot for a hint of pungency.
  • A dash of salt and a sprinkle of ground black pepper.
  • Drizzle of premium extra-virgin olive oil for a smooth finish.
  • Salad:
  • Prepare in 5 pint-sized jars with secure lids for easy storage.
  • Tender cannellini beans, gently rinsed for freshness.
  • Plump cherry tomatoes, halved to reveal their juicy centers.
  • Vibrant kale leaves, meticulously cut into delicate ribbons.
  • A touch of salt to enhance the flavors.
  • Generous sprinkling of freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a delectable finish.

Step 1

Blend together lemon juice, red wine vinegar, finely diced shallot, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper in a medium-sized bowl, combining them into a zesty dressing. Slowly pour in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing reaches a harmonious consistency.

Step 2

Arrange the jars in a neat row like a mini production line. Evenly distribute the beans among the jars, then generously spoon around 1 and a half tablespoons of the prepared dressing over the beans. Next, carefully place 8 halves of cherry tomatoes into each jar.

Step 3

Gently sprinkle some salt over the kale leaves and give them a light massage, allowing them to soften and brighten in color for about 20 to 30 seconds. Distribute the massaged kale evenly among the jars, firmly pressing it down to release any trapped air bubbles.

Step 4

To finish off, sprinkle a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese on top of each salad. Seal the jars with their lids and pop them into the fridge. When you're ready to enjoy, simply empty the contents of the jar into a bowl and give it a good toss before digging in.
