Cameroonian Vegetable Salad and Salad Cream (+ Video)

This is the primary way vegetable salad is made in Cameroon. A bunch of vegetables are chopped, then laid on a tray/salad bowl decoratively. The salad cream/dressing is absolutely to die for. It is extra creamy, sweet and tangy.

Ingredients

3 cups cabbage, thinly sliced about 1/4 of a medium cabbage
3 cups red/purple cabbage, thinly sliced about 1/4 of a medium cabbage
3 cups shredded carrots 2 large carrots
½ medium cucumber
2 tomatoes
½ onion
2 hardboiled eggs
1 avocado

For the salad dressing

1 cup mayonnaise (approx 239 grams)
2 tablespoons condensed milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil of choice - I used corn oil
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Chop all the un-chopped vegetables into bite-size pieces. Also chop the eggs and avocado. Arrange them all on a tray/bowl in any pattern you like.
To make the salad cream: Combine all the ingredients for the salad dressing and whisk until smooth. You could equally blend them or put them in a container with a tight lid and shake until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables, toss to combine and enjoy!

Notes

1. Instead of cabbage, you could use lettuce if you prefer.

2. For a lighter salad dressing, combine equal parts of vinegar, oil and honey. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
