Italian Salad

2 servings

7 minutes

Italian salad is the quintessence of Mediterranean cuisine, combining the freshness of vegetables, the tenderness of mozzarella, and the aromatic taste of pesto. This salad reflects the simplicity and elegance of Italian gastronomy, reminiscent of warm evenings on the Ligurian coast. Ripe tomatoes add bright sweetness, crunchy cucumbers provide refreshing lightness, and green lettuce offers an airy texture. Red onion adds spiciness, while pesto sauce with olive oil fills the dish with a rich aroma of basil and nuts. It can be served as a light standalone dish or as an exquisite side to meat and fish. Simple to prepare yet exquisite in taste – this salad will adorn any table.
