Keeping it simple and no-cook for this weeks meatless Monday post. A much needed recipe for many of you who are experiencing a long Summer heat wave. Creamy white bean and basil spread thickly onto a toasted crusty whole wheat toast and topped with fresh tomato, red onion, and a little more basil. I've topped it with raw patty pan and Summer squash with equally delicious results. Find the recipe over at

This is so simple and looks so elegant. I'll bet it's more satisfying than bruschetta, too.
ReplyDeleteYummy;)
ReplyDeleteYou have a great blog! I love the recipes and the pictures are wonderful. Raw pattypan squash is a new found love of mine this summer, I believe this recipe is a soon-to-maker :-)
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful and so tasty! I love that it's so simple. I will be trying this with the last of our summer tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous color. My chef was right when he said we eat, first, with our eyes.
ReplyDeleteI just made a white bean spread the other day----also herbal-inspired, but with rosemary and garlic instead of basil. Eeryone who had it said they preferred it to hummus. Makes me want to make spreads out of lot of other kinds of beans/legumes..adzuki beans, anyone?
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite dishes to make in the summer. Yum :)
ReplyDeleteThis is my ideal breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There is nothing that says summer like a beefy heirloom and warm, crispy toast with a little salt. This is even more sophisticated, I've done it with hummus but the white beans are perfect. Love.
ReplyDeleteI just went through your whole blog and printed about 10 recipes. Can I just say that I adore your blog and your recipes are sound so delicious! I'll probably bake the Chocolate Chip Coconut Cake this weekend and I'm looking forward to try out the other recipes.
ReplyDeleteHuge compliment!

ReplyDeleteMmm... this looks fabulous! I believe I'll be making this in the very near future.

ReplyDeleteI've been craving white beans this summer. Love this presentation and can't wait to try it!
