Notes
- Why not finish the salad off with sprinkling some seeds or crushed nuts on top? Not only does it add some extra protein, but it adds a nice crunch and texture balance.
- Why not stuff all of this into a pita bread for a really delicious and filling lunch?
- If you have any leftover butter beans, then they are delicious added to soups and pasta dishes.
- Make sure you rinse your beans before using, as it takes off the extra sodium they are stored in.
