Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Conch Salad.
Step 1
Begin by tenderizing the fresh conch with a meat mallet until it reaches a soft consistency.
Step 2
Slice the conch into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a glass bowl.
Step 3
Pour in 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and let it chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to deepen the flavors.
Step 4
Once the conch has marinated, drain the lemon juice and move the conch to a new bowl.
Step 5
Incorporate diced tomatoes, onion, green bell pepper, cucumber, a seasoning blend, and seasoned salt, mixing everything thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Step 6
In a separate container, blend the conch mixture with tomato juice, an additional 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and a splash of lime juice, stirring well to harmonize the ingredients.
Step 7
Add vinegar and a dash of hot sauce, adjusting the spice level to suit your taste.
Step 8
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for about an hour, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 9
When ready to serve, dish out the conch salad cold, garnishing with extra vegetables if you wish, and enjoy a refreshing taste of the sea.
