This Salad is a deliciously healthy dish made with fresh cucumber, tomatoes, and green peppers. Prawns or tofu are quickly stir-fried in a fragrant mix of sesame and coconut oil, garlic, ginger, and chili, adding a punch of flavour to the salad. Topped with spring onions and fresh coriander, and drizzled with a touch of tamari or soy sauce, this salad offers a perfect balance of heat, crunch, and savoury goodness. It's a quick, nutritious option for a light lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
-
½ cucumber peeled and chopped
-
1 large tomato chopped into small pieces
-
1 tsp coconut oil
-
1 ½ tsp sesame oil
-
1 green pepper cored, deseeded and chopped
-
½ fresh red chili, deseeded and chopped
-
1 thin slice of fresh ginger (peeled)
-
1 small clove garlic, flattened with the blade of a knife
- · 6 prawns (cooked or uncooked) or 6 I-inch cubes of tofu (cut smaller if you prefer)
- · 1 tsp tamari/soy sauce
- · 1 spring onion thinly sliced lengthways
- · Fresh coriander optional for garnish
Directions
- Mix the cucumber and tomatoes together and put into a large serving bowl.
- Heat the oils in a large wok or deep frying pan over a high heat, add the green pepper, chili, ginger and garlic and stir briskly.
- Add the prawns, if they are already cooked, they will only take 2 minutes at a maximum heat. If uncooked they’ll take 4 minutes – you’ll know when they are done because they turn from grey to pink all over. Stir vigorously while cooking to ensure everything is fully coated in the oil and spices.
- Arrange the prawns on top of the salad. Pour some of the remaining oil on top (optional) and garnish with spring onions and fresh coriander.
