Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 tablespoons fruit vinegar divided (apple cider vinegar works well)
  • tablespoon salt (or more, to taste), divided
  • 4 cup okra cut into 1-inch [2.5 cm] slices
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 prig parsley minced
  • 1 bell pepper minced
  • 1 red onion minced, large
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper or more, to taste, freshly-cracked or ground

Instructions

1. Prepare water

  1. In a medium or large saucepan, add 1½ quart [1½ liter] of water. Add half of the vinegar and a tablespoon of salt.

2. Boiling okra

  1. Boil the okra over medium heat until they are cooked throughout but still firm enough to maintain its shape (about 12 minutes).

3. Cooling

  1. When the okra is cooked remove it from the heat and discard the water. Let it cool down to room temperature.

3. Making salad

  1. Mix half the okra, oil, parsley, bell pepper, and onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.Set aside to rest for about 10 minutes.

5. Serving

  1. Serve the salad at room temperature, or refrigerate to serve later (some people prefer it chilled).

Notes

  • Adding lime juice to the boiling water will cut down on the sliminess typical of okra. Don't skip that.
