Rainbow kachumbari

6
Easy
20 minutes

“Kachumbari is a cooling salad often eaten as a side with spicy grilled meat and pap, but this one can be enjoyed as a meal on its own. Creamy avocado and the simple sweet-and- sour dressing make this the ideal middle-of- the-table salad at any meal.”- Khanya Mzongwana
