I took a double batch of this to a church potluck (international theme) & hoped there wouldn't be too much left over. At the end, the plate was CLEAN! It was a real hit.

Excellent recipe! Healthy with lots of good protein. I made half a recipe (there are only the two of us) and made a few substitutions based on the ingredients I had available (shallots for red onion, cilantro for parsley). I jazzed it up with some black olives for contrast.

Really tasty, and a great way to load up on protein.
This classic Spanish salad is full of flavor, easy to prepare and ready in around 20 minutes. It's perfect as a light appetizer or a satisfying main course, especially paired with a Galician bread and a chilled white wine.
