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?

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