Summer is here. Yeah, I know it is officially only Spring but we really do only have two seasons here – winter and summer. The sunny days means more time outside which means the slow cooker has been packed away and it is time now for braais and salads.
A mixed bean salad is very South African, right? I think we all have a 4 bean salad recipe that’s been shared a few times. This delicious crunchy mixed bean salad is super simple to make, you can literally throw it all together while your guests are walking in from the car!! It is that simple.
It is also great (affordable) salad to make for a lot of people, you can easily double the recipe for a big crowd and it will go down well if you have vegetarians attending your braai!
