Breadfruit Salad (Antigua)

Instructions

1. Wash the breadfruit, remove the skin and hard core, then cut the flesh into 3 cm cubes.
2. Boil it in a large pot of salted water for 20 minutes, until a knife slides through without resistance.
3. Drain it and let it cool slightly so it doesn't fall apart.
4. Finely slice the red onion and dice the red bell pepper, and the chili if you're using it.
5. In a salad bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper to make the dressing.
6. Add the still-warm breadfruit, onion, pepper and parsley, then toss gently so the cubes stay whole.
7. Let it rest for 10 minutes so the flavors soak in, then serve warm or at room temperature.
