Background
Beans have a soft texture but if you combine them with contrasting, crispy elements, such as fennel, celery and red pepper, you get a lovely, balanced and crunchy bean salad. This version is vegan, but you can add chorizo, tuna, bacon, ham, leftover BBQ chicken to it for a hearty meal. Serve it as a side dish or with toast or in pita and tortilla.
