Tip
ORO DI PARMA PESTO VERDE
Pesto Verde is an Italian green sauce that is not cooked. The word “pesto” comes from the Italian word “pestare,” which means “to pound.” For ORO di Parma Pesto Verde, basil is pounded and mixed with high-quality sunflower oil. However, there are other types of green pesto as well. If you want to make pesto yourself, you can also use parsley or arugula, for example.
Step 3 : The Finale
Don't toss the salad with the pesto verde dressing until just before serving. That way, it stays crisp and fresh. The dressing tastes great not only with oak leaf lettuce, but also with lamb’s lettuce or mixed leaf lettuce. Depending on your taste, you can top the salad with additional ingredients like walnuts, onions, or tomatoes. Just the way you like it.
Buon appetito!
