Ensalada Murciana

(Murcia Salad)

Ensalada Murciana is a traditional salad originating from Murcia. It's made with a combination of tomatoes, onions, tuna or cod, hard-boiled eggs, and black cuquillo olives. The tomatoes are cut into smaller chunks, just like most of the ingredients use in the salad.


Once mixed, the salad is drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with a pinch of salt. In the summer, this salad is served well-chilled, while in the winter it's usually served at room temperature. Due to the fact that ensalada Murciana improves as it sits, it's recommended to prepare it a few hours or a full day before serving.


Serve it with plenty of homemade bread for dipping.
