Step 1: You will need

  • 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
  • 3 sprigs of fresh coriander
  • 1 lime
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 large knife
  • 1 small knife
  • 1 colander
  • 1 medium bowl
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 spoon
  • 1 kitchen paper

Step 2: Rinse the coriander

Take the coriander sprigs and rinse them well under a cold tap. Give them a good shake and set aside.

Step 3: 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 4: 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 5: Core and chop tomatoes

Remove the core out of the tomatoes and slice them into very small pieces.

Step 6: Chop the chilli

Chop the chilli into little rings and then chop them again, very finely.

Step 7: 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 8: 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 9: 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 10: 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 11: 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!
