Method

In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar with the crushed garlic clove and mustard, then season with a pinch of sugar and some salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the oil until you have a smooth dressing. Set aside.
Put a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the chorizo until cooked through and releasing its oil. Drain on kitchen paper.
Add the beans to the pan with the dressing, warm through, then put in a bowl.

Add the cherry tomatoes and herb salad to the bowl with the warm beans, then toss lightly. Serve with the chorizo scattered over the top.

I love this recipe because it makes every body else in the staff room jealous when I make it for lunch…! Smells so fresh.
