Description
This recipe takes me back to summer picnics with my grandmother, where every jar she opened was a surprise from her garden. These marinated white beans are bright, herbaceous, and so easy to make—they’re a celebration of simple ingredients that sing together. Scoop them onto toast, toss them in salad, or enjoy straight from the jar.
