insalata

As elsewhere, it could contain just about anything. Some of the most common are:

insalata alla russa: 'Russian salad' with cooked vegetables, eggs and mayonnaise. Said to have been introduced by Russian aristocrats in Piedmont.

insalata di cavolo: coleslaw

insalata caprese: tomato, basil and mozzarella, 'in the style of Capri'. A favourite antipasto

insalata capricciosa: like a Russian salad, only with raw julienned vegetables and other ingredients; many different recipes

insalata mista: mixed salad

insalata nizzarda: salade niçoise

insalata pantesca: boiled new potatoes, tomatoes, olives, capers, and red onion in olive oil and vinegar. From the Sicilian island of Pantelleria

insalata di rinforza: with lots of goodies
