Italy – one of the most beautiful countries around the globe which is known for its cherished food varieties. People love Italian dishes not only because of taste but also for their super attractive presentation. But, for most of us, Italian cuisine is limited to pizza, fresh pappardelle pasta or Spaghetti. And clearly, it’s not true.  There’s a lot more to it like these three lip-smacking Italian salad recipes that you can try today:

Italian Burrata Salad

Let’s start with a simple but super yummy recipe. This one is my evergreen order whenever I visit any Italian restaurant in the town. It is a good little salad – perfect for a healthy snack. For this recipe, you will need:

• 2 Large tomatoes
• 3 Tbsp white balsamic vinegar
• 1 Burrata
• 6 Tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper from the mill
• 1 TSP espelette pepper
• Basil
• Salad Mix
• And Two Beautiful Plates to serve.

Recipe

Prepare the vinaigrette by mixing the vinegar, salt, pepper, and chili. Gradually pour in the oil and whisk to make the sauce rise. Place a bed of salad mix on your plates.

Cut the tomatoes into thin strips and place them on the crown salad.

Carefully remove the burrata from its packaging and cut it into four pieces. Place the pieces in the center of the plate. Sprinkle with basil and sprinkle with the tomatoes and vinaigrette.

Your salad is ready to taste.

Italian Salad With Figs, Raw Ham, and Mozzarella Tomato

Next on the list is a very sweet, slightly salty salad whose floral presentation will have a little effect on your guests. Simple and fresh ingredients make up our salad of the day, which include:

arugula, tomatoes, mozzarella, good garden figs, raw ham without forgetting pine nuts, basil, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Depending on your appetite, this salad can be offered as a starter or as a main dish.

For 2 people, you will need:

• 6 Tomatoes
• 6 Mini Italian Fresh Food Mozzarella Balls
• 2 Large handfuls of arugula
• 4 thin slices of raw ham
• 8 Figs
• 1 cup pine nuts
• A few basil leaves
• olive oil
• Balsamic vinegar
• Salt and pepper Or ricotta-stuffed peppers (optional)
• A few drops of balsamic cream
• Some caper flowers (optional)

Recipe

Roast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan without fat.

Wash, hull and incise your figs in four parts without cutting them completely.

Do the same with the tomatoes.

In the heart of each tomato, place a small ball of mozzarella.

Cut the slices of raw ham in half lengthwise. Roll each strip on itself to get a roll. Place each roll of ham in the center of the figs.

Add a basil leaf on each tomato.

In a bowl, season the arugula with 1 tsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Divide the arugula among your presentation plates. Harmoniously add the figs to the raw ham and the tomatoes to the mozzarella.

Sprinkle with pine nuts, possibly add some caper flowers.

Add salt and pepper. Add a few touches of balsamic cream, a drizzle of olive oil.

Time to taste!
