Cookware
can opener · chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · grater · measuring cups · measuring spoons · medium saucepan · mixing bowls · stirring spoon · tongs · vegetable peeler · whisk or fork
Directions
- Bring a medium pot with water to a boil, then add the sliced carrots and cook until fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.
- Wash and dry all produce, then peel and mince the garlic and shallot; mince the avocado flesh directly in a bowl.
- Zest half the lemon into the bowl, then juice the whole lemon over it; whisk in olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper to form a dressing.
- Stir minced garlic and minced shallot into the dressing, then fold in the cubed avocado.
- Rinse the cannellini beans and add them along with the cooled carrots to the dressing; toss to coat.
- Roughly chop the pistachios.
- Arrange spinach on plates, spoon the bean-and-vegetable mix over the greens, and finish with crumbled feta and chopped pistachios for serving.
Two tips
- Prep ahead: mix the dressing and veg in advance and chill, then toss with greens just before serving.
- Serving idea: crumble a bit more feta on top and add a light squeeze of lemon over leftovers for brightness.
