Yield Serves 4 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound cleaned fresh conch, diced
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 jalapeño pepper, stemmed, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 European (hothouse) cucumber, peeled and minced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, minced
1/4 red onion, minced
1/2 cup diced fresh tomato
1/4 ripe Florida avocado, diced, or 1/2 ripe Haas avocado (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all of the ingredients except the tomato and avocado in a large bowl. Stir and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
  • To serve, fold in the tomato and avocado. Transfer to 4 chilled glasses or serving bowls.

Tips:

  • Use fresh conch: Fresh conch meat is essential for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh conch, you can use frozen conch, but it won't be as good.
  • Clean the conch properly: Conch can be gritty, so it's important to clean it properly before using it. To do this, first remove the conch from its shell and then cut it into small pieces. Next, soak the conch in a mixture of water and vinegar for 30 minutes. Finally, rinse the conch thoroughly with water.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife is essential for cutting the conch into small pieces. A dull knife will make the job more difficult and could result in unevenly cut pieces of conch.
  • Don't overcook the conch: Conch is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked conch will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The vegetables in conch salad add flavor and texture. You can use any vegetables you like, but some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and peppers.
  • Use a citrusy dressing: A citrusy dressing is a classic accompaniment to conch salad. You can use lemon juice, lime juice, or orange juice to make the dressing.
  • Serve chilled: Conch salad is best served chilled. You can chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Conch salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new seafood dish to try, give conch salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
