Tomato-and-butter bean salad

6
Easy
20 minutes

“The dressing can be kept in the fridge in a sealed jar for a week. I like to keep the bean brine in a sealed jar in the fridge or freezer to add to soups, or use instead of egg white in summer cocktails.”

Ingredients

Method
    For the toasted crunchy seed vinaigrette:

  • 2 x 35 g sachets Woolworths nut-and-seed sprinkle
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup Woolworths ClemenGold juice
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 T Dijon mustard
  • salt, to taste
  • 400 g can butter beans, drained
  • 3 T Italian parsley, chopped
  • 4 ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 sticks celery, thinly sliced
  • 4 Woolworths red salad onions, thinly sliced

Method

Ingredients

1. To make the vinaigrette, pulse the ingredients in a blender to emulsify but don’t make it too smooth.

2. Mix the beans and parsley. Arrange the tomatoes on a platter and spoon over the beans.
3. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and allow to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to infuse. Season before serving.

Cook's note: Serve this hearty salad with peri-peri chicken wings. If you have canned chickpeas in your pantry, drain and mix with the butter beans.
