Two-Bean Salad

This vibrant two-bean salad is a celebrate of simple, fresh ingredients and contrasting textures. By combining crisp, blanched green beans with creamy cannellini beans, you create a satisfying dish that is as nutritious as it is colourful. The sharp, sophisticated profile of Sherry vinegar cuts through the richness of the extra-virgin olive oil, ensuring every bite is perfectly balanced and full of Mediterranean-inspired flavour.

As a versatile vegan dish, this salad works beautifully as a standalone light lunch or as a refreshing side for grilled proteins and summer barbecues. It is naturally high in fibre and plant-based protein, making it a healthy choice for meal prep as the flavours continue to develop if left to marinate for an hour before serving.
