Black Bean, Blood Orange + Shaved Fennel Salad with Shaved Pecorino

You may think we're wild to pair beans with fruit, but TRUST US. The nutty bites of the black beans pairs perfectly with juicy, sweet blood oranges, all brought together with a vibrant golden raisin vinaigrette. It's fresh, it's light but it's HEARTY. Just what we want a salad to be. If blood oranges aren't in season, just opt for the juciest, sweetest variety you can find.

Takes: 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the salad

1 x 570g jar Queen Black Beans, drained + rinsed
20g sunflower seeds
1 fennel bulb, finely shaved (use a mandolin if you have one)
90g rocket
2 blood oranges, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds (or any organges)
25g parmesan

For the raisin dressing

40g golden raisins or sultanas
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
15g mix of mint and parsley, finely chopped

Directions

step 1
Toast the sunflower seeds in a dry frying pan over medium–high heat for 3–4 minutes, tossing frequently, until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
step 2
Now start on the dressing. In a small bowl, soak the raisins in the vinegar for 5 minutes to plump them up. Add the olive oil, vinegar and mustard, then stir to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and stir in the mint and parsley.
step 3
Tip the rocket, shaved fennel, black beans, sunflower seeds and blood orange slices into a large mixing bowl. Toss gently to combine.
step 4
Drizzle most of, but not all, of the raisin dressing over the salad and shave in about half of the parmesan using a veg peeler, reserving some for garnish. Toss everything well to coat. Tip the salad onto a large serving platter and scatter with the remaining dressing and parmesan. Finish with a crack of black pepper and serve immediately.
