Salsa Salad

Combine sliced tomatoes, sliced green chilli, chopped coriander and season with a bit of lemon juice salt and black pepper. In a serving dish, arrange the lettuce leaves to form a bed upon which the tomato salsa can be arranged. Arrange the Cucumber over and around the tomato salsa, over the bed of lettuce. Season with remaining lemon juice and Salt and Black Pepper.

For the dressing, finely chop together the coriander and chilli using a mezzaluna or a chopping knife and board with some of the lemon juice. Add this to the avo, remaining lemon juice, sour cream and cayenne pepper and blend until smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Spoon dollops over Salsa salad and serve as a side salad to lamb wraps / shwarmas, grilled chicken or any hot spicy food. Is really delicious and is a much nice alternative to boring salad.


Comments

Can even be had on its own with toasted pita bread as light lunch.

Remove cucumber from salsa salad and salsa can be used to layer nachos with cheddar cheese and popped into the oven. Remove from oven and serve with the guacamole.

More chillies can be added when using for Nachos to make it spicier and more exciting!
