INSTRUCTIONS
- Drain and rinse the beans and place in a large serving bowl.
- Chop the celery and red onion and add to the beans, giving it a quick mix to combine.
- Next, make the dressing by placing all of the ingredients into a small jug or bowl and use a whisk to combine.
- Pour the dressing over the beans and mix so that all the beans are coated with dressing.
- Sprinkle over the parsley, if using, and stir in.
- Although the salad can be eaten straight away, it tastes even better if left in the fridge for a couple of hours so that all the flavours can soak into the beans.
- Bring back to room temperature before serving.
