Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a medium size bowl combine the cannellini beans, red pepper, red onion, sliced soppressata, banana peppers, parsley and the sharp provolone shavings.
Drizzle with the olive oil, a pinch of oregano, and the red wine vinegar. Mix well.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Let the salad sit for 2 hrs or overnight for the flavors to blend.

Notes

Sliced provolone cheese can be used if you do not want to get a block of cheese. When refrigerated the olive oil will solidify, however, once removed from the refrigerator and back to room temperature it will melt. Banana peppers are mild, if you like it spicy substitute in pepperoncini. Taste and adjust the flavors if you like it more tangy add in more vinegar. Can be served on a bed of arugula dressed in olive oil, salt, and pepper if desired. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
