Salads

It’s much too easy just to say salad. Especially when you want something that is fresh, light, tempting and healthy not too demanding, perhaps, but tasty nevertheless. This is a world, a universe even, which has the same common denominators, lettuce and co, but with thousands of variations that all depend on personal tastes and the current season. Salad, the timeless legend of the 1980s, is the perfect solution for a light, but tasty, lunch that is rich in nutritional goodness and capable of quickly inducing that wonderful feeling of fullness.


THE RECIPES

Radicchio and endive, but fava beans, pine nuts, avocados, beans, potatoes, black rice and spelt, too. These are the ingredients which make up the base of the 40 recipes contained in iCook Italian, to help you create tasty balanced salads. Tuna, anchovies, eggs and cheese are also used to enhance the flavours of the vegetables, leaves and greens. These 40 salads, which can be enhanced with some bread, crostini and bread sticks, bring wellbeing to the table and can be experimented with all year round, as you follow the rhythms of the seasons. And for the pleasure seekers out there, what about a fine glass of wine to forever banish the idea that a salad is not a happy dish.
