1
Prepare the beans

Drain and rinse the canned kidney beans in a colander. Transfer them to a large bowl.

Remove pomegranate seeds

Cut the pomegranate in half. Using a wooden spoon, tap the back of each half over a bowl to release the seeds. Remove any white pith that falls in.

Prepare the herbs

Finely chop the parsley leaves and tender stems. Roughly chop the mint leaves. Add both to the bowl.

Make the dressing

In a small bowl, squeeze the juice from the lemon. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

Toss the salad

Add the pomegranate seeds to the bowl with the other ingredients. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is well coated.
