Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Split each pitta and cut into triangles. Sprinkle with the paprika and put on 1-2 baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until crisp.
  2. Meanwhile, toast the cumin and sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until the seeds start to pop. Tip into a food processor with the butter beans, miso, garlic and mirin. Add 100ml water and blend until smooth. Season and add the lemon juice to taste.
  3. Place the low-fat dressing in a large bowl. Add the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and radishes and toss well together. Serve the salad with the butter bean houmous and pitta crisps.
