🥒 Cuban Seasonal Salad: The Elegance of Simplicity Brought to the Table
This Cuban seasonal salad is a celebration of fresh vegetables and the handcrafted presentation that defines traditional home cooking. Its combination of colors, textures, and aromas makes it a light, healthy, and visually irresistible option.
🧂 Required ingredients
- 2 ripe salad tomatoes
- 1 cucumber
- ½ cup cooked green beans
- ½ cup finely chopped cabbage
- 4 large lettuce leaves cut into strips
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
- Salt to taste
👨🍳 Step-by-step preparation
1. Vegetable preparation
Wash all ingredients carefully. Slice the tomatoes and the cucumber into thin rounds, keeping their skin to preserve texture and color.
2. Presentation design
On a large glass or ceramic platter, arrange the cucumber slices in the center forming a circular pattern. Surround this center with the lettuce, cabbage, and green beans, distributing them evenly.
3. Final arrangement
Place the tomato slices around the vegetable arrangement until the outer edge is fully covered. To finish, add one cucumber slice in the center and place a small piece of tomato on top as a decorative detail.
4. Storage before serving
If you wish to keep the salad fresh until serving time, cover it with a slightly damp cloth and store it in a cool place.
5. Proper dressing
Just before serving, first drizzle with balsamic vinegar, then sprinkle with salt, and finally add a light layer of extra virgin olive oil to enhance flavor, aroma, and shine.
