The salad is inspired by the well-known “lagieslaai” which has been made by most Afrikaans households for many years. The original includes fried bacon and grated cheese as well as a LOT of mayonnaise! Our version is the “classy sister” and is slightly more sophisticated and healthier. It pairs really well with just about anything off the grill or is lovely as part of a light buffet al fresco lunch!
