This is another recipe I learned from chef José Andrés from his show Made in Spain. This is one of my Spanish Delicacies series… we started by celebrating San Fermín, but there are so many Spanish recipes I love that we’ll continue building this catalog for you all to enjoy.
I guess this is a tribute to Doña Tina… my friend Angie’s mom. She’s a sweetheart and she’s currently visiting her native Asturias. She is bringing some equipment for Angie and me to try some recipes for the blog, so in appreciation I dedicate this recipe to her.
It originally includes Afuega’l Pitu cheese, but I have never seen that cheese here in Puerto Rico. I’ll include it in my TO EAT list when I return to Spain to do the Camino de Santiago.
ASTURIAN TOMATO SALAD
6-7 cherry tomatoes, washed and cut into quarters 1 tbs apple cider vinegar 2-3 tbs Spanish olive oil A drizzle of honey 2 small sprigs of thyme leaves About 1/8 tsp of salt About 1 cup of arugula lettuce – optional
- In a measuring cup, mix together the vinegar, honey, olive oil, and thyme leaves.
- Place tomatoes in plate, alone or over a bed of arugula lettuce if using, and sprinkle with salt. Drizzle dressing over the tomatoes.
The sweetness of the honey plays super well with the thyme flavor. Really nice refreshing dressing…

Oh I love that show! And this salad sounds so good right now. Simple, healthy and delicious, that’s my kind of food 😀
I am going to try this one with some tomatos on the vine I bought last weekend. It sounds simple enough. Cheers.
