Scungilli Salad (Italian Conch Salad)

Scungilli Salad, a.k.a., Italian conch salad, is a traditional recipe made for Christmas Eve dinner (La Vigilia di Natale) by many Italian Americans during the annual Feast of the Seven Fishes.

It’s so light and summery that you should actually be making this recipe all year long! The best part? No Cooking Required.

Ingredients:

Scungilli Celery Fennel Red Onion Red Bell Pepper

First, open the can of scungilli and pour all contents into a large strainer or colander. Then, rinse well under cold running water. Set the scungilli aside to continue to drain as you prepare the remaining ingredients.

Then, prep and gather all ingredients.

Place the drained scungilli in a large mixing bowl, then add all of the remaining ingredients and gently mix until all ingredients are incorporated and coated with the olive oil and lemon juice dressing.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Let the salad sit for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop, give it a stir, then it’s ready to enjoy!
