Mixed Bean Salad Recipe

Mixed Bean Salad

This is a really nice mixed bean salad that is so simple to make. 

I saw it on TV ages ago but can't remember what programme although I have a feeling it was a Gino D'Acampo recipe but I've never been able to find it!

Anyway, it looked good so I've been making it quite often ever since. 

For a complete meal rather than just a side dish, why not stir in a can of tuna in spring water (not oil or brine) just be sure to drain it well before adding.

Nice and simple this can be made in a matter of a few minutes.

Prep time: 10 MinTotal time: 10 Min

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons of good quality extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tin of cannellini beans (175g drained weight)
• 1 tin of borlotti beans (175g drained weight)
• a small handful of freshly chopped parsley
• 1 small red onion - sliced
• 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove - minced or very finely chopped
• a pinch of sea salt - I always use Maldon sea salt
• freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Start by rinsing both cans of beans together under cold water and then drain well.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil and the lemon juice.
3. Now stir in the rinsed and well-drained beans. Season with salt and pepper. Gently stir in the onions, garlic and parsley.
4. Have a taste and adjust the seasoning - you might want to add a tiny bit more lemon.
