Cannellini bean salad

This is one of my favorite salads because they make a perfect lunch. You can use canned cannellini beans if you don’t have time to boil the beans but if you do have time, go for boiling your own from scratch. It makes a difference. The night before, soak them in water and boil them until tender. Then, all you need to do is to put the remaining ingredients together and you have a lovely dish. If you are trying to lose weight, be mindful of the fact that beans are a healthy but not low-calorie choice.

• 1 packet of cannellini beans, boiled

• 2-3 spring onions, sliced
