The big Italian from Cook This Book: Techniques That Teach and Recipes to Repeat (page 182) by Molly Baz

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Made with marinated mozzarella and simti bread from trader joes. It was super good and loved by everyone. Will definitely be making again.

    I made this for a large group (a fishing club!). I hate salads, so when I was voluntold that I should bring one, for the last day of a 10 day camping trip, I picked up a couple of live basil plants and the ingredients for this. While we were taking our food from the buffet I heard a big burly man say “ohhhhh, meat salad!” and by the time I went up for seconds there was nothing left of it and half of every other salad.
