Baked Beans Salad also known as sambals is a traditional Indian style salad usually served with braais or roasts.

This salad is super easy to prepare & can be adjusted according to your taste buds. There are much simpler ways of making this salad but this is how I prefer making it.

The baked beans comes in cans which are ready to use which makes this salad quick & easy. It is also vegetarian friendly which is a plus.
