Three-bean
Salad
  • Description:

    A very sought-after dish at the Sunday lunch table and a firm favourite at braais, adding a three-bean salad to your menu is never a bad idea – especially if you want a vegan and vegetarian-friendly recipe. This salad uses a cooked salad dressing, which means it can be stored in the fridge for up to a week and is perfect for a quick and easy braai side. Go wild and add fresh coriander and chilli for a spicier taste.
