Chunky Green Bean, Vine Tomato & Mozzarella Salad
Vine tomatoes are firm and sweet with plenty of juice. They're delicious paired with creamy mozzarella, tender flat beans and nutty cannellini beans. Simply dressed with a mix of lemon juice and olive oil, this is speedy salad that's bursting with early summer flavours.
Ingredients
- 400g flat beans
- 1 red onion
- 1 lemon
- 400g vine tomatoes
- 400g tin of cannellini beans
- A handful of flat leaf parsley
- 100g mozzarella
Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 5 mins
Method
1. Fill and boil your kettle. Trim the woody ends from the flat beans, then slice them on the diagonal into bite-sized pieces.
2. Place a pan on a high heat. Add the hot water from the kettle and season with salt. Tip in the flat beans and cook for 5 mins till they’re tender but still have a little bite. Drain the beans and rinse under cold water. Set them aside.
3. Trim, peel and finely slice the red onion. Add the onion to a large mixing bowl. Finely grate in the zest from the lemon. Squeeze in the juice from half the lemon. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well to mix.
4. Remove the stalks from the tomatoes. Slice the tomatoes in half horizontally, then slice each half into quarters. Add these to the red onion. Drain and rinse the cannellini beans. Add them to the mixing bowl. Tip in the flat leaf beans. Finely chop the parsley leaves and stalks and add these to the bowl.
5. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and toss well to mix. Taste and add more salt, pepper or lemon juice, if you think it needs it. Drain the mozzarella.
6. Divide the salad between 2 plates and tear over the mozzarella to top. Crack over a little extra black pepper and drizzle with a little olive oil. Serve straight away.
