RECIPE TIPS

TIP

Great with cold roast meat or tuna steak.

You could also use cannellini or haricot

beans to make this salad, if that’s what

you’ve got in your cupboard.

Simple and delicious. Adding the lemon really upgrades the butter beans...

very tasty...be sure not to put in too much seasoning though (pepper especially). i used chicken salt, salt and black & red pepper. i suggest using a larger amount of parsley than it says, rather than a small bunch.

Delicious.. But seriously - who is doing these nutritional value estimates!!! 0g of fibre? These are beans... There would be loads of fibre per serving!!
