Smashed Butter Bean Salad Sandwich

|
By Kristen Wood Verified
| MOON and spoon and yum
I’ve been making this herby smashed butter bean salad sandwich whenever I want something quick, filling, and packed with fresh flavor. Canned butter beans are mashed just enough to create a creamy sandwich filling with plenty of texture, then mixed with crunchy celery, pickled red onions, fresh herbs, tahini, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and toasted pumpkin seeds.

Gluten-Free Jalapeño Cheddar Butter Swim Cornbread Recipes

By Kristen Wood Verified
| The Good Men Project Verified
My butter swim cornbread is exactly what it sounds like! You melt a full stick of butter in the pan, pour the batter right on top, and let it bake into the most golden, crispy-edged, tender cornbread you’ve ever made. This gluten-free version is loaded with sharp cheddar and pickled jalapeños and comes together in one bowl. It’s the best! The butter swim technique works so well with gluten-free flour because the butter compensates for the slightly drier texture you can sometimes get.
