PROCIDA LEMON SALAD, simple and quick dish to make in 5 minutes, light side dish and also great as an appetizer with mint, garlic, and chili pepper.
To make the procida lemon salad, you need lemons from the island of Procida; you can also prepare it with other lemons, but obviously the taste and texture will be different.
The recipe for procida lemon salad is very simple, perfect as a side dish or healthy snack with bread lemons, a typical aromatic and tasty dish with mint and chili pepper.
Bread lemons are typical of the island of Procida, they are much larger than the classic known lemons and have a very thick white part ranging from 0.8 to 1.2 inches.
I am lucky to have a tree planted by my grandfather I don’t know how many years ago, I believe 60 years, and in alternating years, it produces very large lemons, very sweet thanks to the white part and the smaller segments.
