    a bowl of cucumbers, bananas and brown rice.

    This Chad salad was a delicious starter for our meal, a wonderful vegetarian dish that has a really nice spicy, honey and lemon dressing. The combination of cucumber with bananas was certainly different but the cucumber added a perfect texture and the bananas a nice sweetness along with the raisins. This unique Chad salad would be a great side dish to any meal.

    Chad Salad

    Clearly the pairing of cucumbers and bananas seems like a very strange combination, but we really liked it.  Served also with brown rice, raisins and almonds, it was the spiced up dressing with honey that really made the salad come all together.  What is the weirdest pairing of items you have tried and loved.  This would be right up there on my list as a unique combination.  I remember making another brown rice recipe that had tomatoes, onions, peanut butter and bananas in it.  My husband said he wouldn't eat it, it turned out to be a dish he requests often.  My point is you just never know until you try.  This Chad salad is one of those recipes.

    I love this Chadian proverb: " If you always walk down the same path, you'll go where you've already been."  If you would like to learn more about this African nation be sure to check out "Our Journey to Chad".
