Bagno America House Salad

A nice laid back bagno in FdM with a subtle, wholesome house salad on offer.  Perfect for a hot summer day, preferably at the Bagno itself.  The salad is memorable because it combines raw and steamed veggies, mozzarella and tuna.  We made it at home, and got it just about right.  If you don't have the best, freshest, ripest ingredients, better not to bother.  No pepper allowed!

white escarole (romaine or bibb ok)
french green beans (steamed)
baby potatoes (steamed), halved 
baby courgettes (steamed, sliced on the diagonal in fairly small pieces)
radicchio, sliced rather thinly
rucola
fennel (thinly sliced, marinated in EVOO)
cherry tomatoes, halved
best quality canned Italian tuna
mozzarella
EVOO
white wine vinegar (or red, or sherry)
sea salt

  1. distribute ingredients across however many serving bowls 
  2. put leafy ingredients last, sprinkle with tuna & mozzarella
  3. dress to taste
