(by request!)
instant bean salad
1 tin of organic mixed beans, 1 tin of organic cannellini or flageolet beans, 1 tin of organic red kidney beans, 1 tin of organic sweetcorn, chopped celery, chopped spring onions, 1 small bottle of organic French dressing
Pour all the tinned beans into a colander and rinse and drain them thoroughly. Put the beans into a bowl and add the chopped celery and spring onions. Pour over as much French dressing as you like, mix well, and serve!
easy rice salad
organic brown rice, frozen peas, spring onions, cashew nut pieces, tinned pineapple
Wash and cook the brown rice, rinse and drain it thoroughly, and place in a bowl. Cook the peas - use a lot of peas in this recipe! - and add to the rice. Chop the spring onions and the pineapple, and add those to the rice and peas. Fry the cashew nut pieces in olive oil until browned and crispy, and pour both the nuts and the oil over the rice mixture. Add sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently stir the ingredients together, and serve hot or cold.
