Broad Bean, Red Onion, and Caper Salad

Using beans as a base of a salad is a brilliant way of adding protein and fibre to a salad but also making it a little more satiating. Broad beans ar...e very affordable and a great alternative to chickpeas or lentils when making plant based dishes. They are great at taking on any other flavours you put with them – like in this salad that is made up of tomatoes, herbs and capers. Studies have shown that it’s beneficial to be including as many different types of fruit, vegetables, beans and pulses into your diet as you can in order to optimise fibre intake and improve gut health. Eating with the seasons and making the most of the produce available at different times of the year is a great way of introducing this variety – and also getting you to try new things in the kitchen!
