Andalusian Bean and Orange Salad

If you’re anything like me, I am a real salad lover, but sometimes at lunchtime I may feel like eating something a little bit more than just a bunch of lettuce leaves with dressing? If this is you, then this Andalusian Bean and Orange Salad might just be what you are looking for! A real interesting melange (mix) of flavours: cannellini beans, oranges, cucumber, tomatoes, pepper, and with a hint of cinnamon, all in a delicious sherry vinegar dressing. Mmmm…
