- Tree Nuts
- Eggs
- Soy

For this simple, quick, and satisfying vegetarian lunch, you’ll use the classic Spanish technique of rubbing cut garlic cloves on toast to extract flavor (without too much of that raw garlic punch). You’ll use this clever garlic toast as a vehicle for warm, smoky, hearty beans topped with juicy tomato and finished with an arugula, pecan, and honey mustard salad. Beans on toast with tangy-sweet greens on top? Now that’s one tasty way to get a wholesome dish on the table in just ten minutes!

• In a large bowl, toss together arugula, pecans, and honey-Dijon dressing. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Spread bean mixture over garlic toasts; top with tomato slices and as much salad as you like.
• Divide toasts between plates; serve with any remaining salad on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many enjoyed the tasty combination, though some found it needed a flavor boost. Try folding hot sauce into the beans for extra zing 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, perfect for a fast lunch or different spin on breakfast. Consider warming and mashing beans in a pan for best results.
- Suggestions: Add slivered red onion to the salad for extra taste. Use just a little dressing to let the arugula flavor shine through.
- Portions: Some found it light for dinner; consider as a hearty appetizer by quartering the toast or doubling up for a full meal.
Reviews from our home cooks
These were fabulous! What an excellent and different sort of meal. The preparation instructions should be amended to make it clear that you should probably use just a little of the salad dressing. You want to leave that nice arugula flavor unsquelched by mustard/mayo.
So quick and easy- I did use a pan to warm and mash the beans but sooooo freaking delicious!!!
I'm quick and easy to make! Great for a lunch, difficult to pack if you were bringing it for work however. Also good for a different spin on a breakfast.
These are surprisingly flavorful and filling. They would make a great appetizer just by quartering the toast.
Really good! Beans themself could be a touch more complex. I folded hot sauce into them and it was stellar.
The ONLY reason I couldn't give this 4 stars was because there was no way there was enough tomato for 2 servings (luckily I had tomato on hand to add more).... other than that this is a fantastic meal. Delicious.
really good, but definitely not sized for a 2 person dinner
Really easy lunch. Wax super tasty and super fast to make. Will buy again.
This is a great recipe, I really love the dressing, and the seasoning.
This was really delicious! My tomato was nowhere near ripe so I couldn't use it-but it was still good
