Hey everyone, it’s Drew, welcome to our recipe site. Today, I’m gonna show you how to make a distinctive dish, solterito | corn salad. One of my favorites food recipes. This time, I will make it a bit tasty. This will be really delicious.
Solterito is a diminutive of soltero, as in "little single man." There are no records of the history of Solterito, so our own interpretation (which we by no means know to be true, but is possible), is that the dish has that name because it's so easy and simple that it's the perfect meal for a single man. I came across Solterito, a Peruvian chopped salad, many years ago and thought it was a refreshing change from my typical lettuce-based salads. Traditionally, Solterito contains fava or lima beans, fresh cheese, chili pepper, tomatoes and large kernel corn native to the Andes.
