i would say you can have it as whatever you like, bump it up to make it more wholesome or tone it down for a side dish, but i have made it most ways that have been already suggested and its all very nice, the chick peas give it a nice crunch!!

Is this a side salad or a main salad? If it is a main it's nice with some sliced sausage, or cubed ham in it. If it is a side salad then I would add some dressing of your choice, with some herbs. I usually add some sweetcorn too for a bit of colour, pepper chopped, and a few chopped spring onions.
Not just a load of beans eh

Hi Kelly78, i agree with Guth's recipe, it sounds delicious and you can just use a very garlicky vinagrette with lots of black pepper and fresh herbs too, very similar to ofgs its lovely on bruchetta or in a wrap and very healthy too.
Normskii, I love baked beans done the AWT way which is with added butter and cayenne or paprika in just on plain wholemeal bread, you are funny, its good to see you back.

Never tried that, Suemc, will give them a go next time!! Thanks.

To get back to the bean salad - some finely chopped shallot (or onion) diced tomatoes, fresh herbs ( I like chives and parsley) salt and pepper and a good vinegraite (yes, I know that is spelled wrongly) and serve with crusty bread. Gorgeous!!!

Loads of herbs and a fantastic dressing makes all the difference

i meant passata - passata is sieved cooked tomatoes
it must be great to be so perfect

Create a 4 bean salad with a nice can of baked beans. not sure whet pasassata is.

i would add some pasassata and herbs or a vinagarette dressing

Hi Kelly I do something similar to that when I do nuggets or etc.

I just add a diced tomato, Chives, chopped parsley and mayonaise. Just be a bit creative ok. Depending on the family's likes and dislikes.
