Ingredients

• 1 head Romaine lettuce
• 3 medium Tomatoes
• 1 large Cucumber
• 1 small Red onion
• 1 6-ounce Can of tuna in olive oil
• 2 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 10 pieces Kalamata olives
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1.5 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Thoroughly rinse the romaine lettuce under cold water. Pat it dry using paper towels or a salad spinner. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Wash the tomatoes and cucumber well. Dice the tomatoes into medium-sized chunks and slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Add them to the bowl with the lettuce.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add the onion slices to the salad bowl.

Step 4

Open the can of tuna, drain the excess oil, and break apart the tuna into bite-sized chunks. Add the tuna to the salad.

Step 5

Peel the hard-boiled eggs and slice them into quarters. Arrange them over the top of the salad.

Step 6

Add the Kalamata olives to the salad bowl, spreading them evenly over the vegetables.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 8

Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad. Gently toss the salad to combine all the ingredients while keeping the tuna and eggs intact as much as possible.

Step 9

Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the top of the salad for a burst of fresh flavor and vibrant color.

Step 10

Serve the Ensalada Mixta immediately as a refreshing appetizer, side dish, or light main course.
