This amazing salad features the very first homemade dressing I ever had. My mom-in-law made it for me at a time when eating a salad was brand new in my life. Believe it or not, coming from my heavily processed-food upbringing, I didn’t have my first salad until I was 25 years old! This salad, and this incredible dressing, bridged the gap. I couldn’t believe that a salad could taste so flavorful and fulfilling. Since my wife and mom-in-law are from Kenya, I named the dressing Asante Sana, which means “thank you very much” in Swahili.
This is a wonderful side salad, but you can easily include some additional protein (steak or fish would be great) to make it a full-on meal.
