Arugula and Cannellini Salad with Olive Vinaigrette
- 1/2 cup pitted oil-cured olives, such as Nicoise (about 36)

- 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
- 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

- 1 1/2 cups pear, grape, or cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch arugula (about 6 ounces), trimmed and washed
- Make the vinaigrette: Combine the olives and the water in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade.
- Process until the olives are finely chopped.
- Add the garlic, basil, vinegar, and cumin; process until the mixture is smooth and combined, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
- In a medium bowl, combine the beans, tomatoes, and red onion, and gently toss.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the bean mixture, and toss well to coat.
- To serve, divide the arugula leaves among 4 plates, and mound the bean mixture on top.
