    Senegalese Salad (Avocado and Mango Salad)

    This Senegalese salad was served alongside the main course called thieboudienne.  The salad is refreshing, and light, and adds the perfect bite from the spicy main dish.   The Senegalese salad is made with fresh avocados and mangoes.  It also has citrus, the flesh and juice of an orange, as well as lime.  It is the acid that takes the heat off the palate from the spicy thieboudienne.   We loved this and will make it often.

    Did you know that Senegal has a philosophy called teranga?  There is not a direct translation to English but it basically means the more I have, the more I give. It is a form of hospitality that is shared by all Senegalese.   If you were to make this Senegalese salad, you would always have enough for one more, to invite a guest whether stranger or friend to share it with you. It is such a neat concept that I am intrigued by.  Let's just say the world can use a lot more teranga!

    Have you ever traveled to Senegal?  Did you experience teranga?  I would love to hear all about it in the comments below. If you would like to learn more about this beautiful country, be sure to check out "Our Journey to Senegal"  There you will find more authentic recipes like ndambe, thieboudienne and Thiakry.
