Preparation

Step 1
Drain the soaked canellini beans, cover with fresh water and cook for 45 minutes to an hour, with the whole garlic cloves, adding a teaspoon of salt after half an hour. The beans should be tender but not mushy. Drain and cool. Remove the garlic.
Step 2
Add the celery, scallions and shallot and season to taste with white pepper and more salt if necessary. Combine the balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Pour the mixture over the beans and toss well.
