Easy 3 Bean Salad

Serves: 8

Info

This really easy three-bean salad is bursting with the fresh flavours of the Mediterranean. We use a can each of our organic black beans, kidney beans and chickpeas (which you can now find in Tesco) and simply pair it with a garlic and dijon mustard vinaigrette. So simple to make and full of healthy fresh ingredients.

Ingredients

1 can of Biona Red Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed

1 can of Biona Black Beans, drained and rinsed

1 can of Biona Chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 green pepper, cored and chopped

1 red pepper, cored and chopped

½ cucumber diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 ½ tbsp capers

Handful of each chopped: Fresh parsley, fresh mint, fresh basil

Vinaigrette Dressing

1–2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 tbsp Biona Organic Dijon mustard

2 tbsp Biona Organic lemon juice

1 tsp Biona Organic coconut sugar

60ml of Biona Organic extra virgin olive oil

Salt and black pepper

Method

In a large mixing bowl, combine the beans, chopped peppers, onions, capers and fresh herbs. Mix using a wooden spoon.
In a small bowl, add the vinaigrette ingredients. Whisk vigorously to combine.
Add the vinaigrette to the salad bowl. Toss to coat.
For best results, cover and refrigerate before serving so that beans soak up the vinaigrette flavours. Give the salad another quick toss before serving.
