There are many ways to make it, and each home includes different ingredients, the recipe we propose has been made a thousand times and honestly, it's our favorite, but as I said, it's a dish that allows many variations and you can adapt it to your own way.

With all this, I hope you find our dish useful, a delicacy for hot summer days and DO NOT FORGET to always keep it cold in the fridge, as the mayonnaise has to be kept away from heat, especially if it's homemade. Otherwise, all that's left is to enjoy this excellent dish!
