I was at a retirement party where my good friend Angie made this Salad. I thought it was devine! So I asked for the recipe. Angie told me that this salad is given to hostages in Guatamala...and that is why it is named such. I just love it. It is something "a little bit different". I served it today at a Church dinner and someone that had to eat Gluten Free took the recipe to make later.

How To Make guatamalan hostage salad

  • 1
    Add all the salad ingredients in a big bowl and chill until ready to serve.
  • 2
    Whip together in a blender the dressing ingredients until emulsified. When ready to serve salad, pour on dressing to taste, toss and eat.
  • 3
    Adjust the ingredients to your liking. Perhaps you like more eggs, less olives, less amount of salad dressing. This is a great salad to make when you have leftovers of rice and vegetables.

    I put 30 minutes to make to account for making rice, boiling eggs, chopping vegetables. It may take much less time. I have used the 90 second packaged plain rice and it works great.
