2 October 2010 —-A number of greens work well in this hearty Italian dish. Chard and turnip greens are growing in my garden, so those are ones I’m using now, but I wouldn’t hesitate to use kale, either.
I also added the fresh cranberry beans that I had from the farm.

Insalata Russa

Insalata Russa or Russian salad is very popular in Italy and in the eighteenth century was known as insalata genovese because it is said that it was served for the Ligurian aristocracy for gala dinners. Other legends claim that the Piedmont region of Italy invented this salad when Russian aristocracy came to visit. It is composed mainly of vegetables and mayonnaise and can be served as an antipasto as well as a salad. It is often found on Italian tables at Christmastime. There are many variations.
