Ingredients
For the Salad
1 Crisp Lettuce
1/2 Cucumber
2 Red Onions
4 Ripe Tomatoes
2 mild chilli peppers ( and they must be mild or you will need to de-seed them)
Bunch Coriander
For the Dressing
Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
Freshly ground salt and black pepper
Method
Shepherds salad is incredibly easy to make. Simply chop all the salad ingredients except the coriander quite finely and put in a serving dish. Chop the coriander and add it to the salad gradually, tasting it as you go. Coriander has a very strong flavour and will overpower the salad if you are not careful.
I like to dress the salad at the last minute as this keeps it a little more crisp. This is achieved by drizzling over the olive oil and lemon juice again to taste, and adding the freshly ground salt and black pepper at the end.
