Vastasa salad is a typical Sicilian dish, from Palermo to be exact, easy to make and rich in flavor.
A dish that can be both a rich side dish and a satisfying main course, accompanied by good homemade bread. The word “vastasa” in dialect indicates a rude and vulgar person, but in this salad, it simply highlights the use of many ingredients and dressings.
