Alright, this may seem a little off-kilter, but I have to explain...I made this as a main dish. I increased the pancetta to about 3/4 cup, instead of white navy beans I had these purple hull peas (kind of like black eyed peas), and I served it over some well seasoned risotto--it was fantastic! It made for a light, yet filling summer meal. The basis for my dish was definitely your salad-- thanks so much!

Oh my gosh, this is a very tasty side dish! The pancetta, vinegar, rosemary and basil complement one another so well! I served this alongside Sicilian Tuna Steaks in Onion Sauce Recipe #93229

I had everything on hand but the Pancetta which I replaced with bacon. The beans I did drain and rinse. This is a nice hearty side. Served with my Grilled Salmon & Smokey Tomato-Chipotle Sauce recipe #116506.I liked the hint of rosemary throughout the beans!
