A delicious combination of chicken, cucumbers and cheese Italian cuisine at all times was glorified not only by travelers, but also by famous poets and writers. Saturated and tart aromas of Italian cuisine excite appetite and awaken fantasy. But it is much simpler and more democratic than the cuisine of many other European countries, and the preparation of many traditional Italian dishes is distinguished by the simplicity and unpretentiousness of the ingredients. This applies to such hot dishes as pasta or lasagna, and the famous Italian salads, the indispensable ingredient of which is cheese - the world famous business card of Italian cuisine. Perhaps, in addition to cheese, when mentioning Italian cuisine, olive oil comes to mind, which is filled with the absolute majority of salads. Mayonnaise is used for dressing Italian salad, but in order not to deviate from traditions, it can be prepared by yourself in olive oil or you can buy ready-made olive mayonnaise. You can also use boiled chicken meat, but with the smoked breast taste and aroma of Italian salad turns out to be especially piquant.
