This Summer Bean Salad is the prefect summer salad to have when you want a rest from your regular lettuce salads. This is a quick recipe you can make at home in minutes!
Take your can of mixed beans, open and drain. Make sure you rinse them thoroughly as sometimes there’s a horrible thick layer of water over the beans–you don’t want that!
Into a bowl, add your mixed beans (usually include things like kidney beans, black-eyed peas, chickpeas, trimmed beans, etc.).
In a separate bowl, pour boiling water over your trimmed beans and blanch for 5 minutes. This warms up the beans but still gives them a lovely flavour and crunch.
Into a large mixing bowl, add your canned mixed beans and trimmed beans and toss.
Finely dice a red onion and beetroot and toss into the large mixing bowl. Then add your apple cider vinegar, olive oil and sesame oil and toss. Leave to infuse for 15 minutes and serve with sesame seeds on top.
