BENIN STYLE VEGETABLE SALAD



Benin Style Vegetable Salad image

Traditional Benin meals are not served in courses. Some families borrow a French custom and start meals with a plate of crudités--to add color to the meal. This recipe reflects this tradition.

THE BEST VEGETABLE SALAD



The Best Vegetable Salad image

This is a refreshing salad using all different kinds of vegetables. You can use whatever you like, but the main things that makes it good are the tomatoes and cucumbers. It is much like an Israeli salad. The homemade dressing is very good on it, but so is just plain olive oil.
