You will need
Serves 2
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 2 ripe truss tomatoes, diced
- 2 long red chillies, finely sliced
- 20 lilly pillies (or can sub 20 grapes)
- 2 Ooray plums (or can sub 2 plums)
- 1 tamarind
- 1 can white beans
Dressing
- 30ml white wine vinegar
- 50ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon caster sugar
- 1 shallot, finely diced

Portion out into bowls, or serve on a big ol’ serving plate, and relish the special flavours of Oz!
Variation
If you’re loving the Aussie theme of this dish, why not take it even further? Apple berries, warrigal greens, and pepperberry (as a seasoning) are some other complementary bushfoods you could throw into the mix 🙂
