Ensalada Mixta (Spanish Mixed Salad)
Ensalada Mixta (Spanish Mixed Salad) is Spanish home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the fresh side. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.

- 1/2 red onion
- 1/4 cup black olives

How to cook it
- Wash and tear the lettuce into a large salad bowl.
- Cut the tomatoes into wedges and add them to the bowl.
