Also known as: Ensalada murciana, Mojete murciano
Murcian salad of preserved tomato, spring onion, egg, tuna and Cuquillo olives dressed with extra-virgin olive oil.
About Murcian salad
Ensalada Murciana, also called mojete murciano, is a salad from Spain's Region of Murcia built around preserved tomato. This profile follows the regional tourism authority's recipe with spring onion, egg, tuna and Cuquillo olives.
Preserved tomato supplies soft acidity and abundant juice, while tuna and egg add savoury richness. Spring onion brings a fresh bite, dark Cuquillo olives add briny depth and extra-virgin olive oil rounds the dressing.
The salad is loose and juicy, with red tomato pieces, pale egg wedges, tuna flakes and small dark olives. Its ingredients remain visibly distinct beneath a light gloss of olive oil.
