Capriccio

4 servings

15 minutes

Capriccio is a salad that embodies Italian cuisine in its bright and unexpected form. Its name translates to 'whim,' reflecting a creative approach to ingredient combinations. Smoked cheese adds a rich aroma to the dish, eggs provide tenderness, and capers add exquisite piquancy. Tomatoes and fresh herbs refresh the taste, while mayonnaise binds the components into a harmonious ensemble. Capriccio is an ideal choice for a light yet nutritious dinner or appetizer that will adorn the festive table. The salad is especially good in summer when one craves something light but with vibrant flavor. It is served chilled and pairs excellently with crispy toasts and white wine, highlighting its Mediterranean character.
