      *This is basically the mother of all salads with everything but the kitchen sink thrown in a hugely substantial feast of colour, texture and flavour. I have to point out that this is normally not a very healthy salad with its lashings of mayonnaise and/or Marie Rose sauce, but Ive come up with a recipe that focuses on fresh ingredients rather than the canned ones commonly used (canned baked varieties are a favourite in Ghana!) while sticking to the original formula.
