Step 1: Rinse the coriander
- 800 g cannellini beans, cooked
- 200 g olive oil, of good quality
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 ripe tomatoes
- 1 spring onion, cleaned
- 1 fresh green chilli

Step 2: Rinse and drain the beans
Place the beans into a colander. Rinse them well under a cold tap and leave them to drain in the colander.
Step 3: Dry and chop the coriander
Place the coriander sprigs on some kitchen paper. Place another piece on top and pat dry very gently so as not to bruise the herb. Now use a small knife to chop it very finely.
Step 4: Core and chop tomatoes
Remove the core out of the tomatoes and slice them into very small pieces.
Step 5: Chop the chilli
Chop the chilli into little rings and then chop them again, very finely.
Step 6: Chop the spring onion
Next, halve the bulb, and slice and dice it very finely. Slice the stalk and chop it all together into very small pieces.
Step 7: Prepare the lime juice
Cut the lime in half and pierce it with a fork, twisting the fork round, squeezing out the juice into a small bowl.
Step 8: Combine the salsa ingredients
In a bowl, add the tomatoes, coriander, chilli, onions, and finally lime juice. Mix together thoroughly. Season with some salt and pepper and stir again until the ingredients are all well combined.
Step 9: Dress the beans
Transfer the beans into a large bowl. Dress them with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Take the spatula and mix together thoroughly.
Step 10: Serve The Bean Salad
Using the spatula, scoop some beans into a serving bowl. Heap a generous serving of the salsa on top and enjoy!
Tips & Comments
This sounds like a great recipe but I'm a bit confused by the beans. Are they meant to be eaten cold, drained from the tin or are they to be cooked from dried beans and drained?
