Background

I make this mixed bean salad regularly, as it’s ready in just 5 minutes. Prefect for vegans, the health-conscious and for parties & picnics. It can be served as a side dish too - goes particularly well with grilled fish and meat. You can use ready-mixed tinned beans, or combine two cans of your favourite beans - such as kidney and borlotti beans.

Ingredients

2 tins of mixed beans
2 sticks of celery
5 spring onions
For the dressing:
4 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp cider vinegar
3 Tbsp chopped coriander
Salt & pepper
1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions

Rinse and drain the beans, then transfer them to a large bowl.
Thinly slice the celery and spring onion, add these to the beans. Add the minced garlic.
Mix the dressing then pour over the bean salad. Combine well.
If you have time, rest it for an hour or so to allow the flavours to infuse.
Taste before serving and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
