Ensalada Mixta in Andalucía

There are so many great things to say about the food in Andalucía, but one of the consistent favorites--something we had every day, sometimes twics a day, was ensalada mixta.  This can come in a variety of ways, but there are two things that are consistent:

The salad is always accompanied by a bottle of Spanish olive oil and one of sherry vinegar, and there is always tuna packed in olive oil on top.

Some have hard boiled eggs, some have asparagus spears, some have olives.  There are always tomatoes, and of course there is always lettuce, but the tuna, the olive oil, and the vinegar really make the salad wonderful.

Since we have been home we have not been able to keep up the tradition we had established while we were in Spain, but with all the summer vegetables that are rolling into the Farmer's Market, we need to get back to it.
