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. Check out the full recipe for the dressing below.

Thanks so much for all your recipes! They are really very clear and easy to follow.
How can I wash my cabbage and let it rain crunchy? I imagine in some countries you buy the cabbage from the store which is clean enough and may not need to wash but it’s not the situation in most places in Cameroon. Advice please…
Hi Kim, slice the cabbage and add to a bowl with water and a little vinegar. Let it sit for five minutes then rinse well with cold water and drain.
Hope that helps.
