For The Salad
  • 1 Cup Onions Diced
  • 1 Cup Bell Peppers Diced
  • 1 Cup Cucumbers Diced
  • 1 Can Butter Beans Drained and Rinsed
  • 1 Can Red Kidney Beans Drained and Rinsed

Method
 

  1. Dice the onions, bell peppers, and cucumbers into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and roughly chop the fresh coriander. Add everything to a large mixing bowl along with the drained butter beans, kidney beans, chickpeas, and crumbled feta.
  2. In a separate bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, dill seasoning, and fresh coriander. Whisk or shake until well combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until evenly coated.
  4. Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavours develop. You can meal prep this for a week, as the flavours soak in over the week and makes it even better.
