GREEN VEGETABLE SALAD/MINI MEALIE BREAD
October 10, 2011 in bread, Salad, Vegetables
Proudly South African, my friend, Elizabeth, had some of her friends around for lunch and her table setting displayed the Springbok theme.
After yesterday’s disappointing result I received a message from her to say that she is out of circulation for the rest of this week as she is in mourning.
She served this delicious green vegetable salad and light as feathermealie bread (baked in muffin pans).
The following pictures were taken at Elizabeth’s lunch.

Baking it as muffins – makes it easier to serve or freeze. Enjoy your day, Tigger.
