  Lovely recipe - used cannelini beans as well as the butter beans & it was yummy. Very quick & easy to make & I served it up for a girlie lunch with white crusty bread & it was very popular! Would definitely make again.

  Very tasty. I served this salad for our lunch last Sunday and every body loved it. I added garlic and an hand full of roasted Pine nuts. I would definitely make this salad again.

  Love this recipe. I have just had half a portion with a turkey steak and it made a lovely filling dinner. I had to use a smidgen more olive oil to make a good dressing but it was lovely.

  I didn't have any tomatoes or butter beans so i used a tin of mixed beans and some red pepper antipasti. I don't like mustard so dressed with olive oil, lemon juice and white wine vinegar. We had for dinner with new potatoes. Was totally scrummy and will be taking my version to any barbecues i attend this year. Would be great in a wrap for lunch.

  Anyone watch Hugh Fernely Whittingstalls Fish fight on Channel 4 last week or seen the Greenpeace tinned tuna league table? http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/tunaleaguetable Make sure you use pole and line caught tuna for this dish rather than that has been caught using large nets which kill dolphins, turtles and sharks as by-catch. pole and line tuna can be found at sainsbury's, marks & spencer and waitrose but unsure about the others...

  Super recipe. Have made this several times. Always wanted to try to eat more beans and this is a tasty, filling and healthy way to do it. And oh so simple.
