Braai Day

Colourful Bean Salad with Pumpkin Seeds & Sweet-Sour Mustard Dressing

September 19, 2020

We are sharing a range of plant-based recipes in celebration of Heritage Day in South Africa.  It is recommended to consume legumes regularly as part of a balanced plant based diet. Enjoy this tasty bean salad recipe on Braai Day, or any other day of the year.

“Beans and other pulses are members of the legume family. They can convert nitrogen from the air and ‘fix’ it into a form that can be readily used by plants. More than environmental superheroes, beans offer us a rich source of fibre, protein and B vitamins.”
