1/2 green capsicum, cored,seeded and cut in half lengthwise |
1/3 cup pitted and coarsely chopped green olives |
4 large fresh mint leaves, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh coriander leaves (cilantro) |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
3 1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Toss the cucumber in a salad bowl with the green pepper, olives, and mint.
2. Add the coriander, paprika, olive oil, and vinegar, season with salt and pepper, toss again, and serve.
