Rezept-Fragen & Antworten
- → Kann ich Dosenmais verwenden statt frischem?
Ja, abgetropfter Dosenmais funktioniert hervorragend und spart Zeit. Achten Sie darauf, die Maiskörner gut abzutropfen und kurz abzuspülen.
- → Wie lange hält sich der Salat im Kühlschrank?
Der Salat schmeckt am frischesten, wenn er sofort serviert wird. Im Kühlschrank hält er sich bis zu 24 Stunden, wobei das Avocado etwas braun werden kann. Die Limette hilft jedoch, dies zu verzögern.
- → Was passt gut als Beilage dazu?
Dieser Mais-Tomaten-Salat ergänzt gegrilltes Hähnchen, Fisch oder Tacos perfekt. Er eignet sich auch hervorragend als leichtes Mittagessen für sich allein.
- → Kann ich Koriander durch andere Kräuter ersetzen?
Ja, frische Petersilie, Basilikum oder Dill funktionieren ebenfalls gut. Wählen Sie Ihr Lieblingskraut oder lassen Sie es ganz weg, wenn Sie möchten.
- → Ist dieser Salat vegan?
Ja, alle Zutaten sind pflanzlich. Wenn Sie Honig durch Agavendicksaft oder Ahornsirup ersetzen, ist der Salat vollständig vegan.
