Ceasar salad

Ceasar salad my way

The well known Caesar salad was first created by the Italian chef Cesare Cardini, who immigrated to the United States, San Diego, after World War I. In his salad, the chef aims at combining the typical Italian flavours - like Parmigiano, romaine lettuce and extra virgin olive oil - and the American ones - e.g. the Worcester sauce.

Spinach with nuts, fresh cheese & Balsamic vinaigrette

Spinach with nuts, fresh cheese & Balsamic vinaigrette

The leafy green vegetable we chose for this salad was Popeye's favourite food but, unlike the famous sailor, we prefer to consume it raw instead of having it coming out of a tin! The right time of the year for spinach is from November until March, when it is in season and can therefore deliver its richness in terms of nutrition at its very best: vitamin A and C, copper, potassium, zinc, calcium, phosphorous and lutein (which is good for your eyes) among others. Try out this delicious dish, where spinach meet cheese and nuts, all topped with a yummy vinaigrette!

Toasted Panzanella with Auricchio on creamy gazpacho

Toasted Panzanella with Auricchio on creamy gazpacho

The Panzanella is a typical dish from central Italy, very famous in Tuscany, Marche and Lazio. The original recipe calls for stale bread, red onion, basil, olive oil, vinegar and salt, but over time some more ingredients, such as fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, have made it onto the list. We suggest to couple it with some fresh homemade gazpacho for an extra taste!

Tricolore Salad

Tricolore Salad

Tricolore Salad is a variation on probably the most well-known and popular Italian salad, Caprese, made with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. This dish comes from the Campania region in the south-west of Italy but it's enjoyed everywhere. Its name, 'tricolore' (three-coloured), refers to its colours, which are the same as the Italian flag - red, white and green. This recipe features one of the most delicious mozzarella, the buffalo one.
