Ensalada Cubana Tipica
A Typical Cuban Salad

Raúl: This is the salad you see at just about every Cuban party.

Jorge: It's a very simple salad and it's easy to make

Glenn: Sometimes it's the simple dishes that taste the best.

Jorge: Or bring back the best memories of Cuba!

Ingredients
2 ripe red tomatoes
1 white onion
1 head iceberg lettuce
6-8 radishes, sliced thin
Dressing:- 1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 cloves garlic, mashed
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Cut the tomatoes in wedges, cut the onion in thin slices. Break up the lettuce by hand.

Toss all ingredients together with the radishes. Place all the vegetables in the refrigerator to chill.

Use a mortar and pestle to mash the garlic with the salt and pepper. In a small bowl, add the olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice to the crushed garlic. Whisk together thoroughly.

You can also use a blender to emulsify the oil and liquids.

Just before serving: Gradually add the dressing, a little at a time, while you toss the salad with a couple of large salad forks.

Add just enough dressing to cover the salad -- more or less to your own taste.

This painting represents the dual culture of Cuban-Americans here symbolized by both the traditional espresso coffee pot -- for those cafe con leches -- and the ubiquitous American drip coffee maker, which is found in offices, work sites, and most American homes.

Tony has sold many of these at art shows around Florida. It is especially popular with Cuban-Americans who live this dual culture. Also a great gift for Cubans married to Americans!
