Mixed bean salad

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.
