This is the one salad most Tanzanian kids know and love.Traditionally, raw cabbage is used for this dish. However, I prefer to first slightly fry the cabbage in a little extra virgin olive oil before using it in the salad. I have also add extra virgin olive oil.
This is a side dish.
Ingredients
NB. The amount of cut tomatoes and cabbage should be equal while the amount of onions should be about 1/2 or 1/3 of tomatoes.
- Tomatoes (Cut tomatoes in about 1/2 a centimeter thin slices)
- Cabbage (Cut cabbage in very thin strips of about 4 to 6
centimeters long) - Red Onons (Cut red onions in very thin slices)
- Fresh lemon/lime juice
- Coriander/cilantro
- Hot peppers
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Add salt, lemon juice, olive oil and coriander to your taste.

I loved this as a kid! Now I can make it in college…even on that college budget! lol
Never knew the secret ingredient was cilantro, asante sana aisee! Yani ni tamu mno!
alafu inapendeza pia na pilipili hoho kwa mtu anayotaka kuijaribu!
Fransiska,
Thanks for extra input. It does taste good with many things that I did not add here. You can add carrots, beans, cucumbers etc. As we are traveling abroad, now we can add the foreign taste and add mushrooms etc.
