Gigante bean salad vegan

Preparation – 20 minutes

tip: soak the dried beans overnight, with a minimum of 12 hours.  

Fill a large pan with water and salt, bring to a boil. Drain the soaked beans and add them to the boiling water. Cook them until they're softened enough, which will take about 15 to 20 minutes.  

Meanwhile, rinse the spinach leaves and use a salad spinner to get rid of the excess water. Rinse the cucumber and radishes. Cut the cucumber, radishes and spring onion into slices.

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves, spring onion and chop the sun-dried tomatoes in small pieces.
