"This salad incorporates all the fixings of a Sunday plate in one clever salad. The sweet, spicy, sour atchar dressing brings it all together and makes for a very homely taste – depending of course on where you call home. This salad can be a whole meal and is totally vegan, so it can feed just about anyone. It’s also a great side for a roast!" – Khanya Mzongwana
