Creamy Biltong and Peppadew Braai Salad with Kitchen 360

Chef Hlali Mzingwane from Kitchen360 in Bloemfontein has put together a refreshing and filling salad with a twist. The creamy biltong and peppadew braai salad is a perfect mix of healthiness and flavour, with a local favourite – biltong.

To make this dish you will need the following:

250g pasta (Fusilli or penne)

150g sliced or chopped biltong

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup cucumber, diced

¼ cup olives, sliced

½ cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons peppadew brine

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Let’s get cooking:

1. Cook the pasta: Boil the pasta according to package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and let it cool.
2. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and peppadew brine until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
3. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, biltong, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, peppadews, and olives.
4. Add the dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is coated.
5. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of colour.

Lastly, let your salad chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving to enhance the flavours.

Serve and enjoy!
