A simple yet flavourful Italian type of salad that features the colours of the Italian flag: green, white and red. In Italy, while we eat this salad, we like to “fare la scarpetta”, meaning “make a little shoe”, referring to pieces of bread used to mop up the sauce on your plate (we actually like to “fare la scarpetta” with many dishes). 😊
