Butter Beans, Goat Cheese, And Caramelized Onions Arugula Salad
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
- 1 medium onion
- 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)
- 3 ounces arugula
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 (15 ounce) can butter beans (or white beans)
- 2 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Heat oil or butter in a medium pan over medium-high heat.
- Cut ends off onion, then slice in half. Then slice into thin strips. Add to pan and cook on medium-high for about 10 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes or so.
- Turn heat down to low / medium-low, sprinkle onions with salt and sautee onions for about 30 minutes, shorter or longer as needed so the onions are a warm, golden-brown color; not under-cooked but not burnt. Stir onions every 5 minutes or so. Add brown sugar toward the end only if you feel onions are not sweet enough for you.
- While onions are caramelizing, rinse and plate arugula. Crumble goat cheese and sprinkle over arugula.
- Rinse beans, then divide evenly among the plates.
- Once onions are caramelized, add them on top of the salad.
- Shred mozzerella over the salads (or sprinkle pre-shredded cheese).
- Makes 2 dinner salads or 4 side salads.
