Wow 56 years of Independence! I decided to pay tribute to my countries national flag colours with an Independence themed salad.
Red, white and black are the colours on the Trinidad and Tobago national flag. This salad is very easy and if you love beans you are in for a treat. It holds some tanginess from the lime juice but also a creamy mouthfeel from the feta cheese. It’s topped with a paprika chicken to add to this tasty dis. Another simple recipe that you can enjoy!
Happy Independence from my family to yours.
