Black Bean, Blackberry + Goats Cheese Salad

If you're out there doing some blackberry picking then look no further as to what to do with them as we've just made one of our favourite salads of the season.

It's got tang, it's got crunch, it's got creaminess, sweet, saltiness, pretty much all the key components for a simple yet satisfying salad.

Takes: 10 minutes

Ingredients

25g pumpkin seeds, toasted
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp honey
Splash of light vinegar, such as white wine or apple cider
30g rocket
A small bunch (roughly 10g) fresh mint, leaves roughly chopped
1/2 jar of Queen Black Beans, drained and rinsed
200g blackberries
125g soft goats cheese

Made with:
Queen Black Beans

These Queen black beans have a flavour that’s rich, earthy and slightly nutty - a quality which holds up against punchy Asian sauces and zing from chillies.

Directions

step 1
Lightly toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan over a medium heat until they start to pop.
step 2
Add the olive oil, honey and vinegar to a large mixing bowl (we’ll use this to form the salad) and mix well to combine to form a dressing.
step 3
Add the rocket, mint, blackberries, black beans and pumpkin seeds to the bowl and toss well in the dressing. Check for seasoning, if you think it needs a bit of sharpness (depending on the taste of your blackberries!) add a splash more vinegar to taste.
step 4
Serve the salads onto plates and crumble over the goats cheese, keeping it in fairly big, creamy chunks. Finish with some cracked black pepper and an extra drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, if you like.
