Cauliflower, butterbeans and greens

Serves 2 25 min
This dish is best served warm or cold rather than piping hot. Think of it as a robust salad. Good with slices of cold roast beef or topped with a sizzling pork chop. A great way to use up leftover or tinned pulses. Lentils, flageolet and haricot will all work well.

  • 100g summer greens, blanched, cooled and squeezed
  • 200g cooked butter beans

  • wholegrain mustard
  • your favourite vinaigrette or salad dressing
