Bahamian Conch Salad Recipe
Description
The Bahamian Conch Salad Recipe showcases cubed, tender conch meat mixed with colorful fresh vegetables including green and red bell peppers, tomato, and sweet onion. The addition of habanero peppers introduces a spicy kick adjustable to taste by varying the amount used. Orange and lime juices provide an acidic, citrus dressing that brightens the flavors and gently cures the seafood.
This no-cook salad is served chilled, emphasizing the fresh, raw qualities of its ingredients. The mixture is salted and seasoned with black pepper to taste, creating a well-rounded, lively dish often enjoyed as an appetizer or light meal in Bahamian cuisine.
Because it is raw seafood prepared with fresh citrus, it is important to keep the salad chilled until serving to maintain freshness and food safety.
Ingredients
- 1 pound conch meat tenderized or steaks
- 1 cup diced tomato
- 1 cup green bell pepper diced

- ¾ cup onion diced; sweet variety
- 1 habanero pepper seeded and minced (or HALF for mild)
- 1 orange juiced, juicy

Instructions

Notes
