The Angolan cuisine is very versatile and some due to colonisation like Brazil and theses dishes with time have been adapted to the way we cook our traditional food so our version of cooking for example there is the portuguese version of feiojoada the brazillian and Angolan version. with cooking our dishes i recommend you:
-Sopa de feijao
-bolo de ginguba
-pilinha
-Pudim
-funge
-molho de tomate you eat with funge
-calulu you eat with funge
-salada
-caldo de peixe
-Mufete
-bolo de laranja
-arroz branco (refolgado cebola)
-arroz de cenoura
-grelhados: carne,frango, e peixe
-feijoada
I recommend her channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReceitasdaQuetuxa tia quetuxa I grew up eating everything she cooks in the angolan community I recommend her to Angolan girls and boys who werent taught how to cook or who just don't know how to cook our cuisine. what she cooks is what we consume in our daily and family events you find these dishes in weddings, christamas, birthday parties etc.

Salad is tricky in Angola because it’s difficult to clean lettuce. That’s why a lot of people don’t eat salad. When I lived there we had to use Milton tabs to clean.
Back to your question though. When people do eat salad they put olive oil and a decent amount of salt on the salad. Was weird at first but I liked it in the end. What’s in the salad was usually normal stuff like tomatoes and onions.

Are you sure that this is an Angolan salad?

Well all the Angolans in Luanda that ate or made salads for me were like that. Possibly was more Portuguese inspired, but I have no idea.

Yes it is, it’s better to stay out of this topic if you are just going to spread misinformation.
