Clean eating superfood salad recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tins of mixed beans (make sure nothing is added apart from water)

• 2 handful rocket ( if you don't have rocket use spinach)
• Flaked almonds
• 1 handful coriander (optional)
• Dressing recipe:
• 4 tablespoon creamy peanut butter

Instructions

1. Drain the water from the tins and place beans mixture into a big bowl.
2. If you have time pop the flaked almonds into the oven and give them a bit of charred colour.
3. For the cauliflower I steamed it, but you could boil it, grill it, fry it with some spices or leave it raw before adding to the beans mixture.
4. Next add in the rocket and flaked almonds and give it a good mixture
5. For dressing: whisk all dressing ingredients until creamy and pour over salad before serving. Any leftover dressing will keep in the fridge for about two weeks.
