Langostino Tails Salad with FarroI wanted to make this salad using as many Chilean products as I had. I looked in my pantry and found Rica-Rica olive oil, a syrup I bought in Northern Chile, mote (wheat berries), and merquén (Chilean chili powder), and I was just lucky to find frozen Langostino tails at Costco. They are not as good as fresh, but being this far away, I welcome them with open arms.

The salad was delicious, refreshing, and with a nice texture.
