What makes a salad authentically Italian? The answer is surprisingly simple. Use the freshest ingredients available.  Italians have been eating salads for centuries.  One of the first may have been eaten when a Greek colonist on Sicily tossed together some of the wild herbs and greens that covered the island.  Andrea takes salad a few steps further with additions such as cured beef, goat cheese, and the combining of creamy white beans and tuna.  Truly a savory delight.
