60 minutes
Italian salad with chicken, ham and vegetables is a harmony of flavors that combines the tenderness of chicken fillet, the spiciness of ham and the freshness of vegetables. This salad evokes Italian village feasts where simple ingredients turn into culinary art. Cheese adds richness while pomegranate seeds provide bright flavor notes and an exquisite appearance. The special aroma comes from Provençal herbs and bay leaves, making the salad truly Mediterranean. Chilled and soaked in mayonnaise, it becomes an ideal choice for festive tables, blending freshness and richness. Light yet nutritious, it suits both everyday dinners and special occasions. The salad not only delights the palate but also decorates the table with its vibrant colors and fresh greens.
