Olive Oil Salads: Discover our summer recipes

⏱ 5 min
In summer, there's only one kitchen staple: olive oil salads . These are one-pot dishes we simply can't resist because they're practical, creative, and incredibly fresh. Lightness and flavor blend with ever-changing and original combinations of ingredients to give us the energy we need to face the summer heat. Olive oil salads are quick to prepare and convenient to take with you for lunch or a day at the beach, and they're a hit with everyone. They can contain a wide variety of ingredients: rice, chicken, fish, cheese, vegetables, and even lots of fruit. There's something for every taste!

Each salad has its own oil

When we prepare a salad, we can unleash our imagination with the combinations of ingredients , but we must pay close attention to the dressing. Choosing the right oil to accompany our dish is crucial, as it should enhance the flavors rather than overpower them. We offer you a short guide to making the tastiest olive oil salads ever. It's important to know that delicately flavored foods pair well with delicate, lightly fruity oils that don't overpower the flavors of the dish. Dishes with a bold flavor pair well with medium or intensely fruity oils , which enhance their aromas. Bitterly flavored oils can be paired with foods that have the same characteristics, such as bitter salads. Spicy oils are excellent paired with tomatoes, olives, and onions to brighten their flavors.

In a bowl, combine the diced chicken, cheese, cherry tomatoes, and black olives. Season with salt, oregano, and chopped basil to taste.

Poke Salad with Sweet Fruity Extra Virgin Olive Oil (4 servings)

Ingredients: Preparation The poke bowl is the latest salad trend. Having arrived from Hawaii to Europe, it quickly became a must-have . Quick to prepare, it requires careful cutting of the vegetables and aesthetic flair when assembling the individual bowls. Rinse the rice under cold running water and drain it in a fine-mesh strainer. In a pot, add the rice to the lightly salted cold water and bring to a boil. Let it sit for a few minutes and season with the rice vinegar, stirring. Meanwhile, peel the carrots, cut them into rounds, and boil them. Wash the cucumber and cut it into very thin rounds, keeping the peel on if desired. Peel and dice the mango and thinly slice the radishes. Dice the smoked salmon. Now assemble the poke salad in the two bowls, placing the rice at the bottom and distributing the ingredients on top evenly. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and drizzle with sweet, fruity extra virgin olive oil.
