It’s time to turn a classic boerie roll on its head. As a South African street food favourite or braai staple, it’s not exactly known for its health benefits. Boerewors flavours vary, but they all contain a fair amount of fat and additives. Add this to a white roll with slatherings of sauce and condiments, and you have a particularly unhealthy meal on your hands. But not this time; I’ve deconstructed it, for a much healthier version.
INGREDIENTS
- 500g boerewors (low-fat variety)
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 pack (±100g) sugar snap peas, sliced in half
- 1½ cups chopped baby tomatoes
- 1½ cups croutons or a few slices toasted sourdough
- Salt and pepper to taste
DRESSING
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 tsp low-sugar sweet chilli sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
METHOD
1. Cook the boerewors on the braai or in a pan. Slice it into 1cm pieces and place in a salad bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Whisk together the dressing ingredients, pour over the salad, and toss.
