Even though it is officially autumn, yesterday was distinctly warm and summery. I had my parents over for lunch so I decided to make a vibrantly flavoured and coloured salad with lots of exciting fresh ingredients. It was sweet and citrusy with a great variation in textures and almost too pretty to eat.
Slice the cucumber and capsicum into thin, ribbon like strips, cabbage and mango - diced into small cubes. Shred the coconut into ribbons and add diced avocado and peas. Remove the lime peel by shopping downward 4-6 times until the flesh is square or hexagonal and then slice thinly so the pieces of flesh resemble small hexagons/squares (this adds a pretty ornamental effect to the salad).
Create The dressing my mixing palm sugar, ginger, sweet chilli and sesame seeds thoroughly into the lime juice. Pour over the salad and garnish lavishly with diced cilantro/coriander. enjoy.
