Hi Lorraine! The flavours are indeed gorgeous… I would never have paired south-Asian flavours with something so prosaic as butterbeans, but it works beautifully.

Hi Erin! Well, I guess someone has to like the bitter stuff, too I always thought I’d grow into liking bitter leaves, just like I grew to love olives and fennel.

Hi Sophie! Yes indeed, this is a pretty healthy salad!

I’ve heard of soaking beans over night but I’m always the one who forgets . This sounds yummy, a healthy but also tasty way to get nutrients .

I love bitter flavors, can’t get enough of them. Then again, I really just love flavor. This is a great recipe, I enjoyed it.

I totally agree about bitter tastes, I just can’t do them and they often ruin the enjoyment of a dish for me. This salad sounds great though, I like carb rich salads as they feel less like a side salad and more like a main. I can imagine how gorgeous the flavours would be together!
