Fresh, vibrant and packed with plant-based goodness, this Tomato Bruschetta with Rocket and Butter Bean Salad is a quick and easy vegan meal that’s perfect for lunch or a light summer evening meal.

The salad not only makes the meal more filling but also adds protein, fibre, iron and zinc to the meal. Ready in just 15 minutes, this Mediterranean-inspired recipe is a healthy and satisfying way to enjoy simple, seasonal ingredients.


Ingredients

For the bruschetta

  • 3 medium tomatoes, diced
  • ½ small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 5g fresh basil leaves, torn
  • A pinch of salt
  • A pinch of ground black pepper
  • 4 medium slices ciabatta

For the salad

  • 200g butter beans, drained and rinsed
  • 10g flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 small yellow pepper, finely diced
  • 100g rocket
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Here is some of the change-making work we do…

Method

  1. Preheat the grill to a medium heat.
  2. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the butter beans, parsley, yellow pepper, rocket, lemon juice and 1 tsp of the olive oil. Season to taste.
  4. Toast the ciabatta slices under the grill until golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes per side.
  5. Once toasted, brush each slice with the remaining olive oil.
  6. Transfer the toasted ciabatta to a serving plate. Spoon the tomato mixture on top and serve with the butter bean salad.
