Salads can be fulfilling meal by themselves. A three bean salad can take care of your protein and fibre requirements of the day. This recipe, has three beans dressed up in a very flavourful roasted red pepper and garlic dressing. If you loved the dip Mhammara which I posted earlier on my blog , a roasted red pepper and walnut dip, then I am sure you will fall in love with the flavour of roasted red peppers. The regular three beans salad has been pepped up with some roasted red pepper, garnished with some pickled onions and beets for an added crunch.
