What is conch salad?

Conch salad is a popular dish in the Bahamas and throughout the Caribbean. It is typically made using fresh conch meat, which is a type of large sea snail that is prized for its tender texture and sweet flavor.

The conch meat is typically diced into small pieces and then mixed with chopped vegetables such as tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and sometimes jalapenos or other spicy peppers. The salad is usually dressed with a mixture of lime or lemon juice, olive oil, and sometimes a splash of hot sauce or vinegar for added flavor.

Conch salad is often served as a refreshing appetizer or light meal, especially on hot days when something cool and refreshing is desired. It is typically enjoyed with a side of plantain chips or crusty bread for dipping.

Conch salad is not only delicious, but also a nutritious dish, as conch meat is high in protein and low in fat. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for seafood lovers.
