Spanish Andalusian Salad – Ensalada Andaluza

Spanish Andalusian Salad - Ensalada Andaluza
The Spanish Andalusian Salad, or Ensalada Andaluza, is a delightful medley of fresh and vibrant ingredients that celebrate the flavors of the sunny Andalusian region. This refreshing salad combines ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and sweet bell peppers with tangy onions and briny olives, creating a harmonious symphony of tastes and textures.
Dressed simply with extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Add spices and a little garlic and the salad comes alive. This simple salad is a celebration of Mediterranean simplicity and goodness. It’s a perfect accompaniment to any meal, adding a burst of colour and flavour to the table.
Whether enjoyed as a light lunch on a warm summer day or served alongside grilled meats and seafood, Ensalada Andaluza never fails to delight with its fresh and invigorating taste. So, gather your ingredients and embrace the culinary charm of Andalusia with this delightful salad that’s sure to transport you to the sunny shores of southern Spain with every bite.
Spanish Andalusian Salad – Ensalada Andaluza comes from southern Spain and is all about the balance that a European salad has. The ingredients are common in most larders and easy to make. There are only two instructions that are so easy even I can do it. The result is a salad full of flavour, colour and the joys of Southern Spain. The Olive Oil and olives remind me of that part of the world. I normally add small chunks of cooked ham or shrimp if serving this as a main dish. However if this is being served as side-dish then nothing else is added. Even the hungriest of guests will love this salad.
