SPELT SALAD

Cook with Vittoria and Giulia a fresh and simple Spelt salad. This easy-to-make dish it’s perfect for a light and tasty hot summer day meal. We decided to season the Spelt with one of the most famous and most delicious Italian sauce the Basil Pesto ( we decided not to add garlic, but in the original recipe you will find also it ). The Pesto is a Ligurian sauce that was born around 1850. Poor people of the region could not use spices to season and flavor their fish ( one of the main products and food, Liguria is near the seaside ), so they start to use a lot of aromatic herbs, especially basil. The region, thanks to the particular and favorable climatic conditions, was full of spontaneous herbs. It’s like that that the Pesto was born.
