  • 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  4. Lightly brush the flatbread with the oil and place on an oven tray. Cook for 4–5 minutes or until lightly golden and crunchy.
  5. To make the bean salad, place the beans, parsley, chives, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and toss to combine.
  6. Serve the skewers with the lettuce, bean salad, flatbread and yoghurt.  Serves 4.
