Today the salad recipe contest takes us to Peru! We present you the Lima Cause of tuna that Eva sends us, a traditional Peruvian recipe, adapted to her style, the @bitxuna style (we recommend her Instagram account, where you will find more recipes).

The "Causa” is a typical starter of Peruvian gastronomy. Formerly it was prepared with yellow potato, but it can be made with any other variety of potato. It is a kind of salad in the shape of a timbale or cake, which is prepared on a seasoned potato base and with various fillings, such as the tuna used by Eva.

If you have never eaten it, now you have the opportunity to prepare it at home. Let’s do it!
