Carrot & Ginger Bean Salad


Easy peasy stuff, this dish is full of protien, flavour and colour! Also impresses easily making a great item to serve at a potluck, though is delicious as a side dish to your main course as well. Upon experiencing the shredded carrot and caper salad with the Vegan Coconut BLT wrap (WOW) at Au Vivres in Montreal, friend and I returned to Ontario only too excited to embark on a veg cooking adventure. This particular recipe is usually how we prepare the dish - enjoy and frankly, get your tastebuds ready! WARNING: cautionary note - if fed to non-vegans, may induce conversion! Mmmmmm and would go awesome with ginger beer...................................



Carrot & Ginger Bean Salada

1/2 can (or 1 cup of cooked) assorted beans

1 tsp ginger paste

To taste: salt & pepper, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, sesame or olive oil
