Garlicky Smashed White Beans on Toast with Apple-Butter Lettuce SaladGarlicky Smashed White Beans on Toast with Apple-Butter Lettuce Salad — a 35-minute dinner recipe with 15 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 heads butter (Boston) lettuce

3 (398 ml) cans cannellini (white kidney) beans

1 small pkg chives

3 Gala apples

3 cloves garlic

1 ½ lemons

12 slices sourdough bread

black pepper

crushed red pepper

Dijon mustard

extra virgin olive oil

pure maple syrup

salt

tahini

white wine vinegar

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Chop chives into small pieces. Place half in a large bowl (set remaining chives aside for serving).

Zest and juice lemons into the bowl with the chives.

Peel and mince garlic. Add to the bowl.

Drain and rinse beans. Add to the bowl along with tahini, oil, and spices. Using a fork or potato masher, roughly mash the beans until semi-smooth. Set aside.

Preheat oven to broil on high and position rack in the upper third of the oven. (Skip this step if you are using a toaster for the bread.)

Place oil, vinegar, Dijon, maple syrup, salt, and pepper in another large bowl. Whisk to combine the dressing.

Quarter, core, and thinly slice apples. Add to the bowl with the dressing.

Chop (or tear) lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl and toss to combine the salad.

Divide bread between two large baking sheet pans. Working in batches, place in the oven and broil, flipping halfway through, until toasted, 2-3 minutes; remove from oven. (Alternatively, you can use a toaster.)

Divide toast between plates, spread with smashed beans, and sprinkle with reserved chives. Serve with salad on the side and enjoy!
