The distinguishing feature of this light, refreshing salad is the addition, just before serving, of pieces of crisply toasted flat bread. Adapted from Complete Vegetarian Cookbook by Charmaine Solomon. Ingredients:
1 seedless cucumber, sliced |
1 large red capsicum, diced |
1 green capsicum, diced |
3 large tomatoes, diced |
5 spring onions, chopped (scallions) |
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 large pita bread round |
Directions:
1. Put diced and chopped vegetables into a bowl, cover and chill until shortly before serving time.
2. Combine lemon juice, oil, garlic, salt and pepper and pour over the vegetables.
3. Toast pita bread under the grill – it should be pale gold in colour, not brown.
4. Break into large pieces and toss into salad at last minute, so it will still be crisp when eaten.
