How to make traditional Andalusia Pipirrana:
We gather all the ingredients to prepare the pipirrana. If you feel like it, you can replace the spring onion with normal onion or purple onion, and thus you will give more color to the pipirrana. Peel the cucumber and cut it into small pieces. In the same way, we cut the onion small, as indicated in the image.
Wash the peppers and cut them into pieces. Did you know that red pepper has more vitamin C than orange? If you like recipes with red pepper you can try the roasted pepper and spring onion salad, it’s great!
Cut the tomato and carrot also into small pieces. The carrot, in addition to being rich in beta carotene, gives the pipirrana a very pleasant sweet taste. Mix all the vegetables and season the pipirrana with a little salt, white wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.
