Summer Six Bean Salad
Home » COOK » Recipes » Recipes By Course » Salads »I was selected recently to be a #MorrisonsMum and hubs and I went to our nearest Morrisons supermarket to buy the food for our Bank Holiday Monday Family BBQ, I promised I would share all the recipes, and the first one that I’m sharing is my Summer Six Bean Salad.
I’ve decided (since I’m on a diet) that I’ll be including the calorie count for each dish which I’ve worked out using the labels on the food packaging and other online resources.
I’m also including how much each dish costs to make using the ingredients I bought from Morrisons. Added ingredients such as herbs, spices and olive oil etc are not included as I figure most of us have those sorts of things in our store cupboard (I know I do!)
>Making my Summer Six Bean Salad couldn’t be easier – just mix together six different types of canned beans, add some onion, and then make a herby vinaigrette to pour over the top!

Costings…
The Morrisons beans were on special offer of 2 for £1 (or 59p each) The gungo peas were an amazing 39p for a 400g can, and the cannellini beans were 79p. I had the onion, oil, vinegar, oregano and garlic salt in my store cupboard, as these are staple ingredients for me.
The cost of this huge bowl of Summer Six Bean salad is £3.18, which works out at 26p per portion! Throw in a few more pence for the store cupboard ingredients and this is a great value salad to serve to a crowd, or have as a family dinner with some bread.

Looks amazing! Very similar to one of my favorite bean salads, except I add cherry tomatoes, and sometimes add some whole wheat pasta. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
