On one of our travels to South Africa we got served a very tasty and refreshing broccoli salad. It was a meal with many small dishes, all traditional South African. We ordered more of this salad, as we all loved it so much!
At home, I immediately went onto my task to copy the salad; I needed several trials until I succeeded with the exact taste. Since then this is one of our favorite salads!
It’s wonderfully crisp, and the dressing goes perfectly with the lemony flavor. It’s simply wonderful!
