30 minutes
Italian salad with mango and Parma ham is a harmonious blend of freshness and elegance of Italian cuisine. Its roots lie in the traditions of Mediterranean salads, emphasizing the balance of flavors and textures. Sweet, juicy mango perfectly contrasts with salty Parma ham, while romaine and arugula add freshness. Skewers of cherry tomatoes and mini mozzarella drizzled with pesto add notes of aromatic basil to the dish. The dressing made from olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and mustard enriches the salad with spiciness, making it an ideal complement to a light dinner or festive table. This salad not only delights the taste but also looks aesthetically pleasing, turning a meal into a true gastronomic pleasure.
