Welcome to the Church of the Holy Cabbage. Lettuce pray

I know, I know, the subject line is completely random but I thought it was funny. It also reminds me of salads which reminded me that I should post my favourite salad recipe of ALL time. Mark loves it too so it features on our dinner plates at least once or twice a week during summer. It’s a bean salad and it goes perfectly with BBQ’ed meat of any description.

Ingredients
2 x 400g tins of cannellini beans
1 small red onion, finely diced
4 ripe tomatoes, seeds removed and diced
Handful of chopped parsley
Handful of chopped basil
100ml extra virgin olive oil
50ml red wine vinegar
1 glove of garlic, minced

Method
1. Drain cannellini beans and rinse well. Add to a salad bowl.
2. To the bowl, add the onion, tomatoes and herbs.
3. To make the dressing, mix the oil, vinegar and garlic together.
4. Add to the salad and mix well.

It’s as easy as that!
