White Beans with Squid, Rocket, and Cherry Tomatoes

This vibrant squid and white bean salad is a wonderful example of Mediterranean-style cooking, combining lean protein with heart-healthy fats. The tender, steamed squid pairs beautifully with the creamy texture of the white beans, while the cherry tomatoes add a refreshing burst of sweetness. It is a light yet satisfying dish that celebrates fresh, simple ingredients without the need for heavy sauces or complex preparation techniques.

Perfect as a nutritious lunch or a sophisticated starter, this recipe fits seamlessly into a heart-healthy diet. The addition of peppery baby rocket and a bright lemon and olive oil dressing provides a refreshing lift to the savoury elements. For the best results, ensure the beans are at room temperature to allow the flavours of the citrus to fully penetrate the dish.
