The author has spent many summers in Sicily and Tuscany teaching the joys of Italian cooking to students from all over the world. In Italian Salads she brings a taste of Italy straight to your table. The secret to creating the perfect salad is to use simple, fresh, high-quality ingredients something the Italians understand. Take a juicy red tomato, a slice of creamy buffalo mozzarella, a handful of pungent basil leaves, and add a drizzle of golden olive oil and you have the classic Insalata Caprese, perfection on a plate. Every recipe is pictured in this 64 page cookbook.
