Insalata Mista con Tonno e Uovo - Italian Bar Mixed Salad with Tuna and Egg

If you’ve ever stepped into an Italian bar for a quick panino, a tramezzino, or a light lunch, you’ve likely spotted, and maybe even enjoyed, a salad just like this. It’s usually ready to go…neatly prepared and waiting in the glass case. I’ve just as often seen it pre-made and packaged in Italian grocery stores for an easy midday meal.

I’ve always loved its simple charm. I’ve recreated it many times at home, though I’ve never shared it here before. It may be simple uncomplicated salad, but every time I make it, it gives me big happy smiles because it brings me back to Italy with every bite.
