Mixed Bean Salad
Gomo Five Bean Salad 800g is a handy mix of red kidney beans, cannellini beans, borlotti beans, chickpeas and butter beans, all ready to drain and use straight from the tin. With five different pulses in one can, you get a satisfying combination of creamy, tender textures and subtle earthy, nutty flavours without having to soak or cook dried beans.
It is an easy cupboard staple for adding substance to salads, soups and stews, or for putting together a quick side dish when you need something with minimal preparation. Toss the beans with olive oil, lemon juice and fresh herbs for a simple bean salad, stir them into a rich tomato casserole, or add them to soups towards the end of cooking.

Why use a mixed bean salad instead of a single variety of beans?
A mixed bean salad gives you several textures and flavours in one ingredient. Creamier beans such as butter beans and cannellini sit alongside firmer kidney beans, chickpeas and borlotti beans, making dishes more varied without requiring several separate tins.
What is the difference between the net weight and drained weight of canned beans?
The net weight includes both the beans and the liquid they are packed in. The drained weight tells you how much of the actual bean mixture you receive once that liquid has been removed. This 800g tin provides 480g of drained beans.
Can five bean salad be mashed to make dips and spreads?
Yes. The drained beans can be blended or roughly mashed with ingredients such as olive oil, lemon, garlic, herbs or spices. The combination of chickpeas and creamy beans makes a particularly useful base for rustic bean dips and sandwich fillings.
