A wonderfully refreshing bean salad, great served alongside BBQ meats. Every now and again I'll add in a chopped tomato or two.

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 (400 g) cans cannellini or 3 (400 g) cans butter beans
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juice of
1/2 cup basil leaves
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
sea salt

Steps:

  • Drain the beans and rinse under cold water, drain well.
  • Into a food processor or blender, put the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, basil leaves, parsley leaves, cumin, salt and pepper.
  • Pulse for a few seconds so that there is still texture. Put the beans into a bowl and pour over the dressing, toss well.
  • If possible leave for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before serving -- but can be eaten right away and still be very flavoursome.
