Ingredients

• 1 pound Scungilli (conch), cooked and sliced thinly
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil, extra virgin
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 stalks Celery, thinly sliced
• 1 small Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the scungilli by ensuring it is fully cooked and thinly sliced. If using canned scungilli, rinse it under cold water and drain well.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Whisk together to create the dressing.

Step 3

Add the sliced scungilli to the bowl and toss to coat it well with the dressing.

Step 4

In the same bowl, add the celery, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and fresh parsley. Gently fold the salad together until everything is evenly mixed and coated with the dressing.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.

Step 7

Serve the scungilli salad chilled, either on its own or on a bed of crisp lettuce leaves for an extra touch.
