15 minutes
This Italian salad is a true symphony of flavors, combining the tenderness of melon, the crunch of fresh lettuce, and the rich tones of cured meat. Its origin is linked to Tuscan traditions that value the balance of sweet and salty ingredients. Breaded mozzarella, fried to a golden crust, adds textural variety and creamy richness. Olive oil and balsamic dressing give depth to the salad's flavor, highlighting its sophistication. A light tang from lemon juice completes the composition, refreshing the taste. Perfect as an elegant appetizer or light main dish, it captivates with its harmony and simplicity. Serve it with a glass of white wine for an authentic Italian spirit on your plate.
