Pinto Bean Salad with Fish

This salad is a complete and nutritious dish that combines the plant-based protein of legumes with the lightness of fish. It is an ideal dish to prepare ahead of time, as the flavors intensify as it rests. To season the beans and enhance the flavor of the fish without adding sodium, we will use Bonsalt 0%.

Ingredients

• 400g cooked pinto beans (can be from a can, well rinsed and drained)

• 200g white fish (desalted cod, hake or monkfish)

• 1 Italian green pepper

• Bonsalt 0%

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Fish preparation: Cook the fish steamed or on a griddle with a drop of oil until done. Once warm, flake it or cut it into cubes, removing any bones.

2. Legume preparation: If you use canned beans, rinse them under cold running water until they stop foaming and drain them thoroughly. Place them in a large bowl.

3. Vegetable cutting: Chop the peppers and spring onion into very small dice (brunoise style) so they blend well with the size of the beans.

4. Mixing: Add the chopped vegetables and flaked fish to the bowl with the pinto beans. Add the olives if you decide to use them.

5. Vinaigrette: In a separate container, emulsify the olive oil, vinegar, white pepper and a generous amount of Bonsalt 0%.

6. Finishing: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently so the beans do not break. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. It tastes much better if left to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
