Misticanza Salad with Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese, Walnuts, Prosciutto and Balsamic

In Italy many people think that "misticanza" is a particular type of salad, but in fact this term of dialectal origin is used to define a fresh and colorful mix of herbs or raw vegetables. Filling a bowl with misticanza is like preparing a white canvas on which to paint with a thousand colors. As a matter of fact, the secret ingredient for a light and delicate, but also delicious and tasty, mixed salad is only one: imagination.

The colors we have chosen for this tasty misticanza are the gold of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, the pink of Parma ham and the deep, dark brown of our Goccia Nera Balsamic Dressing: a finishing touch that will captivate the eyes and the palate, a precious ink with which to sign this recipe and many other ideas that will light up your kitchen with creativity.
