Salad for Spicy Food

This recipe might sound stunningly unimaginative, but actually it is a great salad to go with spicy food - of both Indian and Oriental leanings... With some Chilli Sauce and a squeeze of Lime, this goes brilliantly with Chinese style dishes or stir fries; and with some yoghurt and mint it goes equally well with a curry and some rice. Something about the combination of the cucumber, onion, coriander and piquante peppers that makes for a really healthy, happy and almost exotic (still low cholesterol!) taste.

Ingredients

  • Salad Leaves
  • Red Onion
  • Cucumber
  • Piquante Peppers
  • Handful Fresh Coriander

Lay the Salad Leaves out on a plate or serving dish

Wash and slice the Cucumber into long, thin batons

Slice the Red Onion

Use a few Piquante Peppers (from a jar or tin) and slice them into much smaller pieces

Lay the chopped ingredients out over the salad

Chop the fresh Coriander and sprinkle all over the salad

Finish with a massive squeeze of Lime and a little drizzle of Rape Seed Oil

Good with yoghurt, chilli sauce and maybe some croquettes or fritters?!
