With inspiration from Italy, where fresh and local ingredients are the base in every dish, the Italian farmer’s salad is a real highlight. It is a salad that is full of flavor and color. It is both incredibly delicious as well as visually appealing. The homemade basil dressing is suitable for many other things such as a pasta sauce and as a sauce for BBQ.
