Ingredients

Serves

The quantities follow this count.

4 tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 white onion
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt

How to cook it

Thinly slice the onion and arrange it with the sliced tomatoes on a platter, alternating and overlapping them slightly.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top.
Season with the salt and scatter the oregano over everything.
Let the salad sit for 10 minutes before serving so the flavors settle; the Spanish default salad, two ingredients only, and neither the composed house salad nor the chopped Andalusian pipirrana.
