Bean Salad with Lemon and Herbs

This vibrant lemon and herb bean salad is a celebration of fresh, zingy flavours and satisfying textures. Using a combination of creamy cannellini beans, snap-fresh green beans, and a punchy herb dressing, it offers a sophisticated twist on a classic vegan salad. The addition of salty capers and a hint of Aleppo pepper provides a lovely depth of flavour that balances the citrus notes perfectly.

Ideal as a protein-rich lunch or a nutritious side dish for grilled mains, this versatile bean salad is both healthy and incredibly easy to assemble. It keeps well in the fridge, making it a brilliant option for meal prep or a summer picnic. Serve it alongside some crusty sourdough to soak up the delicious lemon and olive oil dressing.
