Salads

The most important principle in concocting a successful salad is fresh prime produce. This is where door-to-door selling by the women from the villages is really missed: to have a fresh tomato for breakfast right off the bush is a luxury one can only look back on. Fortunately, many products are still cultivated the traditional way and some select local vegetable and fruit stores sell them on a regular basis. But going traditional also means limiting oneself to seasonal produce and facing the challenge of inventiveness and resourcefulness.
