Vegetarian salads
One of the most traditional and representative salads of Italian cuisine is definitely the Caprese salad, which for simplicity and authenticity of its basic ingredients, can be consumed as a vegetarian dish at any meal time. The Caprese salad is considered a second course, which, as the name suggests, has its origins in the beautiful Island of Capri (not so far from Naples, capital of the “partenopea” cuisine). Around its history, as well as with many of the typical dishes of our country, there are many myths and legends. But the most accepted story about the origin of this delicious salad, reports the birth of the dish during the Second World War. Many argue that the recipe Caprese owes its birth to a particularly patriotic mason, who liked to enclose the colors of our flag in a sandwich: basil, tomato and mozzarella were so filling a soft loaf of bread to be enjoyed during the lunch break. According to city chronicles, the caprese was also the protagonist of a story that involved even the King Farouk, ruler of Egypt. In 1951, the king paid a visit to Capri with family and on a sunny afternoon, after the demand for a quick meal that could placargli hunger, he had the opportunity to savor a fragrant bun stuffed with tomato, mozzarella and basil. Needless to say, even a noble palate like that of King Farouk, was enraptured by the meeting of these three flavors all our own!
