Trim a little off the leaf end from the celery heart and cut across the whole head into thick slices discarding the very end part with the root. Put into a bowl with the beans, add the halved tomatoes
Remove the seeds from the pepper and cut into 1cm pieces, and add to the bowl. Warm the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the seeds and cook over a medium heat until toasted, then add to the salad.
Peel the garlic, place on a board and with the flat side of a knife, smash to crush the garlic. Then add a little salt and crush into the garlic with the flat side of a knife to make a paste. Put into a small bowl, add the oil and lemon juice season with pepper and whisk together. Pour over the salad and toss together then serve.
