Spiced beans and rice salad
Background
This vegan spiced beans and rice salad is very easy to make, and it’s very versatile. It can be served lukewarm or cold, as a main course or a side dish; or you can take it with you to trips, picnics or to work in your lunchbox. It’s slightly spicy, but the chilli can be omitted. It’s healthy, filling and yummy!
