Giant Gigante Beans in Vinaigrette
These plump and meaty white beans from Greece are the perfect addition to an antipasto platter and salads. They can be easily turned into creamy dips or eaten as a snack on their own. Gigante is Greek for giant, and these beans are definitely perfectly and satisfyingly oversized.
The naturally mild and buttery beans are marinated in a flavorful vinegar and extra virgin olive oil mix with strips of red pepper, sea salt, pepper and parsley. We love to toss them into pasta salads, but we also adore them for simple snacking, paired with a fresh baguette to soak the vinaigrette. Take a blender or food processor and easily puree to create a hummus-like dip that you can serve as a healthy creamy starter served with fresh veggies like carrots and celery. Serve them as a side dish with meats and grilled fish, so versatile!
Used in many Mediterranean dishes, Giant “Gigande” Beans in Vinaigrette by Divina are a good source of protein and fiber, so they’re a great vegetarian or vegan option for an appetizer, side or even main dish paired with a soup. Don’t toss out the vinaigrette, it's delicious as a dip or dressing!
