Roast Beetroot and White Bean Salad

I made this dish for lunch the other day when I needed something quick and easy. If you prepare the beans and beetroot in advance the salad only takes about 5minutes to put together and it tastes great.

INGREDIENTS

1 large Beetroot, roasted whole and chilled

2 cups chilled cooked white beans (I use cannellini)

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2Tbs lemon juice

2Tbs olive oil

2Tbs chopped fresh mint leaves

1tsp salt (less if using drained canned beans)

METHOD

Slice beetroot and cut into bite-size pieces

add all ingredients into mixing bowl and mix through.

Allow to sit in refrigerator for about two hours (this is optional, it just enriches the flavour)
