For the lemon oregano dressing

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 lemon, juiced

Directions

1

Start by making the dressing. In a large mixing bowl - big enough to fit the whole salad in - whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, grated garlic and dried oregano. Add a splash of the reserved bean stock and whisk again until smooth and emulsified. Taste before adding salt - the beans are already well seasoned.

2

Add the tomatoes, butter beans, fennel, spring onions, olives, dill and basil to the bowl and toss well so that everything is evenly coated in the dressing.

3

Tumble the salad onto a large serving platter, or individual serving plates. Serve straight away.
