Ensalada chilena

(Chilean salad)

Ensalada chilena is a Chilean salad consisting of tomatoes, onions, olive oil, and coriander. It is sometimes enriched by the addition of hot chile peppers. The salad is a staple on almost every Chilean table and a common accompaniment to numerous dishes such as humitas (sweet corn tamales), grilled chicken, pork ribs, fried fish, and empanadas.


Interestingly, in Chile, the term salad (ensalada) is a generic term referring to any raw or cooked vegetables that are served cold as a side dish.
