Easy high protein vegan bean salad

This easy high protein vegan bean salad takes minutes to throw together and is packed full of protein, fibre and loads of nutrients. Its one of my favourite lunches served on top of a mixed salad with a dollop of hummus on top. This will make about 4 servings and it comes in at around 350 calories per serving.

100g of cooked or tinned sweetcorn

2 tbsp of capers

For the dressing:

2 tbsp of olive oil

1 tbsp of white wine vinegar

1 tsp of Dijon mustard

Instructions:

• Cook the beans as per the instructions on the tin (or better still, buy dry beans and soak and then cook them).

• Mix the dressing ingredients together and then pour over the dressing and stir everything together.
