Nigerian Salad

Let’s explore the vibrant flavors of Nigerian salad, a vibrant and colorful recipe for Nigerian Salad that is full of flavors, delicious, and textures. Beyond typical Western salads, Nigerian salad offers a unique and exciting blend of fresh vegetables, fruits, and flavorful salad cream.

Nigerian Salad includes baked beans; I prefer Heinz baked beans, (but feel free to use any brand of your choice), shredded carrots, cucumber, sweet corn, leafy greens, and many more. Some optional ingredients can be included, such as cooked potatoes, pasta, corned beef, and many more. I prefer my Salad to be simple and have an authentic taste that makes the salad unique. This salad is delicious, nutritious, packed with vitamins, minerals, and many more.

In this post, you’ll be guided through the key ingredients, traditional methods, and unique flavor combinations that make Nigerian salads special; the Heinz salad cream makes the taste unique.

Servings: 10
Ingredients
  • 3 Cups Cabbage (shredded)
  • 3 Cups Lettuce (I used both Romaine and Iceberg; you can use just one type.)
  • 3 Cups Shredded carrots
  • 1 Medium Cucumber (cleaned and diced/sliced)
  • 2 Firm Roma Tomatoes (cherry tomatoes work as well)
  • 3 Boiled eggs (sliced)
  • 1.5 Cups Sweet corn
  • 1.5 Cups Heinz Baked beans
  • Heinz Salad cream (Mayonnaise/salad cream of your choice)
Optional Ingredients
  • Pasta (I didn't use it)
  • Cooked diced potatoes (I didn't use it)
Instructions
  1. Clean all of the vegetables and thinly shred.
  2. You can dice or slice the cucumber; I diced it. If you are using cherry tomatoes just slice into two, if you’re using salad or Roma tomatoes, dice them.
  3. Add all the ingredients (except boiled eggs, baked beans, and salad cream) to a big bowl/salad bowl. If you're using pasta/potatoes, include it now.

  4. Before mixing the salad, you can steam the shredded lettuce and cabbage in a bowl of hot water for about 2 minutes and drain to ensure there is no water on the vegetables (optional), or just mix cabbage, lettuce, corn, and tomatoes together, then layer into another bowl and top with some baked beans, sliced eggs, vegetable mixture, baked beans, and eggs. If you desire, you can layer each ingredient by alternating them until you're done.

  5. Chill until you’re ready to use the serve.

  6. Add the salad cream as you desire; I usually don't add the salad to a bowl of salad, I add the cream for each portion when served. Enjoy!
