Kachumbali
This is the one salad most Tanzanian kids know and love.Traditionally, raw cabbage is used for this dish. However, I prefer to first slightly fry the cabbage in a little extra virgin olive oil before using it in the salad. I have also add extra virgin olive oil.
This is a side dish.
Ingredients
NB. The amount of cut tomatoes and cabbage should be equal while the amount of onions should be about 1/2 or 1/3 of tomatoes.
- Tomatoes (Cut tomatoes in about 1/2 a centimeter thin slices)
- Cabbage (Cut cabbage in very thin strips of about 4 to 6
centimeters long) - Red Onons (Cut red onions in very thin slices)
- Fresh lemon/lime juice
- Coriander/cilantro
- Hot peppers
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Add salt, lemon juice, olive oil and coriander to your taste.
