This particular one has been adapted from the early version of the “Huisgenoot Wenresepte” – which any South African baker would recognize as their favorite (and most used) book in their recipe book collection. There are loads of variations for this recipe of Three Bean Salad. It has come accustomed for our family to present this salad with most birthdays and Christmases – as we normally do the thing all South Africans do – Braai. It might not be the healthiest side dish, but it surely goes well with a Braai, or any roast for that matter. I have to admit I never liked Bean Salads at all, and one day I just thought that I would try it out, and that was the end of me. This recipe for Three Bean Salad is the perfect side salad for a Braai. Still – I might just be in denial – but a piece of meat on the braai with a few healthy fresh sides seems like the way to go. I prefer Braais now more than ever, since hubby and I changed our lifestyle to a healthier one. This sort of eases the guilt when I think of other unhealthy meals I could have prepared instead. The thing that I find most appealing to Braais these days are the fact that the food prepared with a braai are mostly freshly made salads that just entices the summery feeling that is significant with this South African tradition. I think the best thing about a Braai other than the great company of friends, a few ice cold beers, the great food – is the smell of a charcoal fire grilling a few fatty lamb chops. There is certainly nothing better than that. ![]()
