This salad came together on a very hot summer day in London and we loved it. Hope you do too! Pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano works just as well.

1 head Romaine lettuce

1 red bell pepper

1 tomato

5 sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil

1 garlic clove

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

handful fresh basil

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup grated pecorino (+ more for top)

1/2 can white beans, drained

Method:

1. Wash and spin dry your salad leaves. Tear into bite-sized pieces.

2. Thinly dice the red bell pepper and tomato and place on top of lettuce.

3. In a food processor, combine the sun-dried tomatoes through pecorino and blend until combined. Stir in the cannellini beans and top the salad greens with them.

4. Top with a bit more grated pecorino and enjoy”)
