Serves 3 - 4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chickpea, drained with no salt/sugar added (1 tin)
  • 1 cup red kidney beans, drained with no salt/sugar added (1 tin)
  • 1 cup corn (defrosted)
  • 0.75 cup sugar snap peas cut into pieces 

 

  • 0.75 cup chopped red pepper
  • handful chopped parsley and coriander
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • 3 tbs balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, except for lemon juice, balsamic and herbs.

In a small cup mix lemon juice and balsamic well. Pour dressing over the salad, garnish with herbs and mix well.
