This salad is perfect for a dinner party! Plus it’s a great source of protein and healthy fats.

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 4 cups green beans, steamed.
  • 1.5 cups cooked/canned beans (organic where possible). Mix of any: romano, pinto, lima, navy, chickpeas, kidney, cannellini
  • 1/2 cup hazelnuts or almonds, crushed ( I use my food processor to finely crush them)
  • 2 tbsp goats cheese feta
  • Handful of chopped mint + parsley ( or herbs of your choice)
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Himalayan salt

For the Salad Dressing:

  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp. seeded mustard

 

Method

  1. Wash and top green beans. Steam for 4 to 5 minutes until crispy.
  2. Make dressing: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix.
  3. When beans are cooked, remove from heat and rinse in cold water. Place in a large bowl and add all other salad ingredients.
  4. Toss green bean mixture in dressing; season to taste with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
