Simple & Tasty Two Bean Salad

You could substitute the kidney & butter beans for any that you happen to have on hand

This is a really simple recipe, easily made from store cupboard ingredients. It is best served chilled and can even be served as a light lunch, accompanied by some crusty bread rolls.



Two Bean Salad

50 ml Olive Oil
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
salt and black pepper
1 can butter beans, drained
1 can kidney beans, drained
8 Cherry tomatoes, chopped (or 2 large tomatoes)
50 g Olives, stoned & chopped

Make a dressing by whisking together the olive oil & vinegar. Add the parsley & season with salt & pepper. Combine butter beans, tomatoes and olives. Moisten with the salad dressing and mix lightly.
