Although this salad has different names depending on the province, it is prepared throughout Italy.
If you want to try something Italian style instead of pizza or spaghetti, try making Gonzaga salad. It is also called Mantuan salad or Mantuan chicken.
This is a very delicious and original historical recipe, typical of Mantua and Lombardy in general. The recipe was shared on Sonia Peronaci’s website.
This is a recipe in which chicken, capon or guinea fowl meat is usually prepared in advance. It is ideal if you cook chicken broth and then use its meat to get an original dish.
