I’ve got this mate called Deano. Salt of the earth, good guy, owns a successful building company, likes a good yarn and a few quiets. Turns out he’s quite the foodie too! When I said to him ‘Deano, you always look fit and really healthy. What’s the secret?’ His answer: ‘I eat good food. I don’t eat anything processed, and yes – I eat the occasional pie – but it’s all about real simple food. And this recipe is a winner! Sometimes when I get home from work, I’m not sure what to cook for dinner, so I have a snack on the bean salad that’s always sitting in my fridge and it stops me from eating crap!’
So next time you’re reaching for a biscuit or a bit of chocolate, ask yourself ‘What would Deano do?’
Deano’s Bean Salad
- 3-4 cans of your favourite beans (Canneli, Butter beans, Kidney Beans, Chick Peas and lentils are all ok)
- a can of whole kernel corn
- 1-2 sticks of celery
- a red onion
- Green Touch Avocado Oil
- balsamic vinegar
- coriander
Drain the beans and corn, removing all brine and put into an air tight container both for mixing and storage
Add finely chopped celery and red onion and mix through
Add avocado oil and balsamic vinegar ( add as much as you like according to your own taste) and mix through
Finally add some finely chopped coriander, mix through and enjoy.
