Instructions: * Note: Use beans such as cannelini or great northern.

Soak beans in cold water overnight, or do a quick soak by boiling beans for 3 minutes, removing from heat and allowing to stand 1 hour.

Drain and rinse the beans, return to a large pot and add water to cover the beans by 1 inch. Simmer the beans until tender, about an hour. Drain and cool. If using canned beans, drain and rinse beans and place in bowl.

Add garlic, parsley, oil and vinegar and mix gently. Add salt to taste and mix again. May be made the day before.
