Bean there, done that: dressings and toppings

Vinegar-based dressings are the perfect pairing for the beans in the salad. Try combining apple cider vinegar with some oil and pepper to deliver a combination of sweet and slightly bitter notes. For a warmer flavour that will quickly wake your tastebuds up, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, oil and Dijon mustard then drizzle over to taste.

When it comes to toppings, anything crunchy is a certain hit. From toasted cashews, to pumpkin seeds, bread croutons or sliced radishes – the texture contrast is a satisfying finishing touch for the dish.
