Let’s braai
It’s Summer. We’re on holiday. And we’re loving our braais. And this braai day platter’s going to be a hot fave.
Forget the every-day-salad. At your next braai, make up this platter, with a gorgeous dip. It will take you less than half an hour to make, and will serve six to eight people.
