Three-Green Salad

Three-Green Salad, originally uploaded by Robin "Evil Bob" A.

Something to chill you down in the exhausting hot summer days. This green salad is flavourful and easy to make.

HOW TO PREPARE:

* Three types of green vegetable combined to your taste. (All are easily available at the local stores.)
* Sweet green chili pepper;
* Coriander (cilantro);
* Cucumber (Asian cucumber preferred; if not available suggest seeding the cucumbers)
* Add a few slices of spring onion; cut or slice the vegetables to approx 2 inches (or 50mm) long. Season the salad with a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar, dabs of sesame oil (or olive oil), lime juice. At the end, I also added a tea spoon of sweet soy paste (the same kind of paste to dip Peking Duck in). This is just a start, add more seasoning if you would like to have stronger flavours.

Serve after chilling the salad for five minutes in the refrigerator. Every mouthful of this dish is exotic and refreshing.
