Heritage & History

The undisputed centerpiece salad of Cameroonian celebratory banquets, weddings, and family holiday feasts.

Preparation & Cooking Steps

4 steps

Boil diced carrots, potatoes, green beans, and peas in salted water until tender; drain and cool completely.

In a bowl, gently fold cooled vegetables with creamy mayonnaise, a squeeze of lemon, salt, and white pepper.

Mound salad onto a serving platter and garnish with quartered hard-boiled eggs and tomato roses.

Chill for 1 hour before serving.

Chef's Tip & Secret

Cooling the boiled vegetables completely before folding in mayonnaise prevents the emulsion from separating.
