Burundi Kachumbari an African slaw that is so simple and so delicious. A mixture of sliced or shredded vegetables many times with just onions, tomatoes and a simple squeeze of lemon or vinegar. Add in some cilantro and you are good to go. Additional veggies like cabbage or cucumber could also be added. Of course a touch of a hot chili to make it authentic! Serve it cold with Beans and Bananas!
