The South Sudanese love a good, chopped tomato salad on the side of their meals.
Often, it’s no more than tomato, onion, and hot, green chili peppers… perhaps a spot of parsley…But other times, a bit of peanut butter and lime juice makes for a grand dressing… and tastes just like home, if you happen to be from South Sudan.

Instructions
- Add chopped tomatoes, green onion, and parsley to a bowl… and give them a good, strong toss.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, peanut butter, lime juice, chili peppers, and salt. The dressing will separate, so you may need to whisk it again right before serving. Give it a taste, and adjust seasonings as desired.
- Pour the tangy, nutty dressing over the tomato mixture, toss, and serve. Or let individuals doctor up their own bowls with as much dressing as they’d like.
