Our daughter has always been a pretty adventurous orderer, surprising restauranteurs with her selections. When she was 7-years-old and we traveled to Mexico, she ordered squid and octopus. We began traveling to the Caribbean when she was 9, and she was the first to order some of the local fare, including oxtails. The rich stew of braised oxtails paired with rice, and in this case, the familiar onion rings, met with her approval.

It’s time to launch our new series featuring our favorite dishes from the Caribbean islands. Today’s feature is Conch Salad from the Turks & Caicos Islands.

Pair it with Jan’s Infamous Rum Punch, and you have the perfect seaside lunch. For more about Da Conch…
