Ingredients

  • 1 x 400 g can mixed beans (e.g. kidney beans, chickpeas, white beans), drained and rinsed
  • 1 x 185 g tin tuna in brine (sustainably sourced), drained
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, halved lengthwise and sliced
  • 1 mini cucumber (or 1/2 regular cucumber, seeds removed), diced
  • Small bunch of flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill (or mint), finely chopped
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (1/4 cup)
  • 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • sea salt, to taste
  • a pinch of red chilli flakes (optional)

Method

  1. In a large serving bowl, combine the beans, tuna, red onion, celery, cucumber, parsley and dill (or mint).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and chilli flakes (if using). Alternatively, pour the dressing ingredients directly over the salad.

  3. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated. Let the salad sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavours before serving. Enjoy!
