How to Make Pagliacci Salad Recipe? A Good & Delicious Recipe

This salad is a perfect example of how to make a Pagliacci salad recipe perfectly. To start with, you need good Italian dressing. For this, I recommend using one that has a little bit of vinegar in it. This will give your salad its tangy flavor, which you don’t want to be missing from this dish. If you don’t have any Italian dressing on hand, then just use some mayonnaise instead.

After that, you’ll want to add some cucumbers and tomatoes to the mix. These two vegetables are very popular ingredients in Italian cooking, so they’re going to go really well with the dressing and pasta sauce. You can add them raw or cooked depending on your preference, but either way, they’ll be perfect for this salad! You can also add some olives if you’d like, but they’re not essential for this meal.

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons salt, divided
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
