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.

Mixed Bean Salad Recipe

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.
