Recipe of Chilean salad

Chilean salad is a staple in Chilean cuisine, especially during Fiestas Patrias, where it accompanies empanadas, anticuchos, and other traditional dishes. This simple recipe combines fresh tomatoes, onion cut into feathers, cilantro, and a dressing of olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. Its freshness and balance between the sweetness of tomato and the tangy touch of onion make it the perfect side for grilled meats, humitas, or simply with bread.

Why make this salad?

Besides being quick and economical, Chilean salad highlights the natural flavors of its ingredients. It is ideal for those seeking light and healthy options, as it is low in calories and rich in vitamins. In Chile, every family has its variation: some add chili peppers, others prefer thinly sliced onion, but the base is always the same.

The trick to prevent the onion from being too strong is to soak it in hot water for a few minutes, as indicated in the preparation. This softens its flavor and helps it blend better with the tomato. Go ahead and make it to enjoy a taste of Chile at your table!
