Summery Bean, Tomato and Chilli Salad (Graf, Domati i Piperki Salata)
They say that the more colourful the ingredients on your plate, the better it is for you. I guess they’d be right with this summery bean salad, brought to life with fresh mint, garden tomatoes and sweet grilled chillies.
This would have to be one of my favourite summer salads which serves as the most delicious topping on grilled bread. If you already have a few grilled chillies in the fridge, this salad literally takes no more than a few minutes to bang together.
Serve as a light lunch, a rustic appetiser for guests or as a salad accompanying fish, salami or kjofte with a dollop of fresh yoghurt.
