Receta Farmer’s Salad
Farmer’s Salad
Have you every made a Farmer’s Salad before? Me neither. I’ve seen it on menu’s at restaurants, but never made it or ever ordered one either. Farmer’s Salad also known as Ensalada Grangero, consists of the bountiful ingredients you would find in the Western Mexican region, such as Puerto Vallerta, a place I have visited several times in my life.
Typically, a Farmer’s Salad has grape or cherry tomatoes. I just don’t like tomatoes enough to add them to my salad. It have a strange love hate relationship with tomatoes. I like them in some things, but not all. Salads are one that I prefer to skip the tomato.

And it seems in the last several days Spring is being crushed by the warmest weather for this time of year. Somewhere between 77 and 87 degrees. Making a hearty dish that does not require the use of the stove or oven makes this dish a perfect fit.
It’s light and hearty at the same time.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
