Notes
INVENT YOUR RECIPE:For this cold scungilli salad recipe, I am using traditional ingredients such as peppers, olives, artichokes, onions, and fresh herbs. You can mix and match the vegetables you add to this salad. You could try sundried tomatoes, hot peppers, capers, carrots, chickpeas, or even cucumbers.I keep the dressing for this salad simple with red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice. You can experiment with different types of kinds of vinegar such as balsamic or apple cider and alternative oils such as avocado or sesame.Instead of scungilli, this recipe also works well with cooked shrimp, scallops, and calamari. Before beginning the recipe boil, sauté, or steam your shellfish of choice and then cool before mixing in the other ingredients.
