This morning, I got a sneak peek at the brand new Pro Line Series of countertop appliances from KitchenAid, and let me tell you: gourmands – get excited! The  line features easy-to-use, hardworking appliances that are all beautiful enough to always be on display in your kitchen. While each piece has features that will make your jaw drop, there was one item that especially stood out to me. The new 16-cup food processor is the first of its kind to feature hands-free commercial-style dicing! I got to see it in action and it's pretty amazing. In just seconds, it dices your veg into perfect little cubes (and quietly, at that!). How fantastic is that news for salsa lovers and chopped salad aficionados? For those of you who use food processors at home, I've included a recipe for the Mediterranean White Bean Salad that I watched come together live at the event - it looks delicious! Try it out on your own machine and then imagine making it with perfectly cubed cucumbers and tomatoes. *swoon*   Mediterranean White Bean Salad Serves 10 Ingredients:

• ¼ snipped scallions
• ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano
• ¼ cup Kalamata olives, drained
• 4 roma tomatoes, seeded
• ½ one seedless cucumber
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
• ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 1 15.5 oz cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

  Directions:

1. Position multipurpose blade in the work bowl of the KitchenAid Pro Line 16 Cup Food Processor and push to lock.  Add in the scallions, parsley leaves, oregano, olives, and red pepper and pulse 12-15 times for a rough chop.
2. Remove the multipurpose blade and place the dicing kit on the food processor.  Place the cucumber and tomatoes through the small feed tube and dice.  Gently scrape mixture into a medium sized bowl with the spatula.  Fold in the cannellini beans and feta.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper.  Pour the dressing over the vegetable bean mixture and toss gently to evenly distribute.  Season with salt and pepper, adding more as desired.
