Rome salad
2 servings
20 minutes
Roman salad is the embodiment of simplicity and elegance in Italian cuisine. Its roots trace back to Mediterranean traditions, where fresh and natural ingredients are valued above all. Crunchy iceberg lettuce combined with tender mozzarella creates a light yet rich texture, while the spiciness of black pepper and wine vinegar adds exquisite depth of flavor. Tender pieces of beef make the salad hearty, and cherry tomatoes add a refreshing tang. Dijon mustard in the dressing provides a refined spiciness, while the egg completes the composition by adding softness and richness. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or an elegant dinner, highlighting the richness of Italian gastronomic traditions.
