When you grow up in Italy you eat salad for one reason and one reason only, because your mother makes you! Our regional cuisine thrives on seasonal produce and we do have an incredible amount of vegetable side dishes that are served always paired with you main course. If you happen to sit down at a restaurant you can easily notice that no menu will ever have a “Salad Section”… if you want one you just have to ask your waiter for it. Celebrate the end of summer with this wonderful and flavor layered salad that can serve easily as a side for a dish of pasta or even be your quick lunch on the go for a hot day.
