The bresaola salad with potatoes, arugula and cherry tomatoes is a light, healthy, fresh and genuine salad, very flavorful. In this salad you’ll find boiled potatoes, datterini cherry tomatoes, arugula, bresaola and Grana Padano flakes. It is prepared quickly — just the time to boil the potatoes — and you’ll have a really tasty and hearty dish. The saltiness of the bresaola meets the softness and sweetness of the boiled potatoes, while the arugula adds a slightly sharp flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the cherry tomatoes. To finish, we add Grana Padano flakes which, in my opinion, make everything perfect. A perfect dish for a day trip or picnic, for a light lunch at the office or to take to the beach, why not.
