Dijon Bean Salad

Dijon Bean Salad

T

his dijon bean salad is super quick to put together and is packed with protein so will fill you up as a standalone dish, or as a side salad. The dijon mustard gives it a subtle but distinctive kick. You may want to play with the quantity until you find just the right balance, but this is what works for me.

Serves 4 people.

Ingredients

• 1 400g can chickpeas
• 1 400g can kidney beans
• 1 400g can black beans
• 1 small onion, chopped finely
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons maple syrup
• 3 teaspoons red wine vinegar
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Add all chickpeas to a colander, drain and rinse them with cold water.
2. Whisk the remaining ingredients in a large bowl, add the onion, parsley, and beans. Stir to combine, and coat with vinaigrette.
3. Chill until serving, the longer it sits, the better it tastes.
