Blood Orange and Mixed Bean Salad With Sprouts

This vibrant blood orange and mixed bean salad is a celebration of seasonal citrus and hearty legumes. The combination of zesty lime, sharp sherry vinegar and a hint of red chilli creates a punchy dressing that perfectly balances the sweetness of the fruit. By using a variety of beans, such as black-eyed peas and creamy gigante beans, you create a satisfying texture that makes this vegan dish feel substantial enough for a main meal or a bright, refreshing side.

Packed with plant-based protein and fresh nutrients from alfalfa or radish sprouts, this healthy salad is ideal for a quick weekday lunch or a light weekend brunch. The addition of thinly sliced celery provides a much-needed crunch, while the aromatic coriander finishes the dish with a burst of freshness. Serve it immediately while the flavours are at their most vivid.
