Put the canned beans in a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced onion and mix together. Cut the baby green beans in half and cook lightly in salted, boiling water for about 8 minutes until just tender. Refresh under cold water and drain again. Add the mixed beans, onions and peppers.

To make the dressing, place the oil, cherry vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and chili sauce (if using) in a screw top jar and shake vigorously. Pour the dressing over the mixed bean salad and toss well. Leave to chill in the refrigerator until required.

COOK'S TIP: Also check out Unico Premium Marinated Bean Salad or Unico Bean Medley.

You can also use any combination of beans in this salad. For a distinctive flavour, add 1 teaspoon of curry paste instead of chili sauce.
