This Cameroonian vegetable salad is loaded with carrots, cabbage, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, tomatoes, cucumber and onions. It is so fresh and bursting with the perfect blend of crunchy and creamy!
The salad dressing, mostly known as salad cream in Cameroon is absolutely to die for. It is the perfect marriage of creamy, tangy and sweet. My 'secret' weapon ingredient in the dressing is condensed milk. That, combined with mayonnaise, vinegar, oil and salt is the truth.
Now come to mamaaaa!

Lucy says
Please, which brand of mayonnaise do you use? Is it the white vinegar one uses to clean? Found extra sweetened condensed milk, is this alright too? Thanks and keep on the great work with site
Precious says
Hi Lucy, I use Kraft mayonnaise but the brand doesn't matter. Any brand of mayonnaise will work.
Yes, it's the same white vinegar used in cleaning.
I think regular sweetened condensed milk is fine. The extra sweetened one might be too sweet.
Hope this helps 💜
