Spanish compose salad

"I have wanted to showcase Spanish dishes and snacks ever since my return from San Sebastien. The amount of tomato that country uses must be on par with the amount of biltong consumed in South Africa! This salad is deliciously sweet with a touch of sour. A compose salad is a fancy word for a layered salad and these three ingredients work well together to deliver an outstanding representation of Spanish cuisine." – Scott Parker
