- Drain and rinse the beans.

- Mix these and put them in the bottom of the fridge to chill.
- Just before serving, combine all the ingredients for the dressing, pour it over the bean salad and toss.
This is very good as a side salad at a barbecue, or as a vegetarian starter if served with flat-bread to mop up the juices.
