Abacha, also known as African Salad, is a beloved traditional delicacy from Eastern Nigeria made from shredded cassava. This colorful and richly flavored dish is a perfect blend of texture and taste — combining crunchy cassava with richly spiced palm oil, fermented oil bean (upaka), bold seasonings, and aromatic Ehuru (African nutmeg). It's often paired with fried fish, garden egg, fresh pepper, and onions, then garnished with garden leaves for a refreshing finish. Enjoyed warm or cold, Abacha is both nourishing and satisfying.View ingredients and steps below.
