Solterito Corn And Lima Bean Salad Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Solterito is one of the specialty dishes of arequipa, a beautiful city surrounded by dramatic volcanos in southern peru. Solterito is a vegetable salad, traditionally prepared with the lima beans and large kernel choclo corn that grow so well in peru. The word soltero means "Single", and solterito (the diminutive form) translates to something like "Little single man. " Chunks of salty queso fresco cheese (a firm white salty cheese), spicy rocoto chile pepper, tomatoes, olives, and red onion make this salad burst with flavor and color. This is a great summer picnic salad, but it can be prepared with frozen vegetables in the winter as well.
