- Thinly sliced Serrano ham
- Spanish cheese platter: wedges of blue-veined Cabrales, tangy Manchego, creamy Mahon, and/or Iberico (the latter three can be cubed)
- Sliced piquillo peppers, stirred with a few crushed garlic cloves and capers and drizzled with olive oil
- Spanish olives sprinkled with olive oil and sherry wine vinegar
