Recipe Description
A delightful and refreshing salad, the Peruvian Vegan Solterito is a quintessential representation of Andean cuisine with a vegan twist. This dish is a cold salad, traditionally prepared with broad beans, tomatoes, onions, olives, rocoto (Peruvian hot pepper), and herbs, all tossed with a vibrant lime dressing. In this vegan variant, the cheese commonly found in traditional recipes is omitted to cater to plant-based diets, yet the salad retains its iconic explosion of fresh flavors and textures. Served as a standalone meal or as a side, this recipe is not only a treat to the palate but also a colorful addition to any table. Its ease of preparation and wholesome ingredients make it a staple for quick, nutritious eating.

- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Steps:

- 3. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
