Salad with chopped eggs.

La Salade is so important in French cuisine that in Senegal it may be used both as an appetizer or as a salad following the main dish. When serving the entrée, present the Yassa first and then bring your Salade Côte Cap Verte. It is correct to serve French bread at this time.
