White Bean and Radish Salad

This vibrant white bean and radish salad is a celebration of fresh, punchy flavours and contrasting textures. Using creamy cannellini beans as a protein-rich base, the dish is elevated by the peppery crunch of seasonal radishes and the savoury depth of an anchovy and caper dressing. It is a fantastic option for those seeking a nutritious, Mediterranean-inspired meal that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum impact.

As a heart-healthy choice, this salad is packed with fibre and monounsaturated fats from the extra-virgin olive oil. The zesty white wine vinegar and fresh flat-leaf parsley provide a brightness that makes it an ideal accompaniment to grilled fish or as a standalone vegetarian lunch. You can easily prepare it a few hours in advance, allowing the herbs and dressing to infuse together beautifully.
