Each bite of Tutta Bella's Insalata di Salerno is like summer on a fork.

Can you feel it? Springlike days are tiptoeing their way back. Gray mornings break to bluebird skies, daffodils burst from cracks in the sidewalk and heavy coats are being tucked away into closets. It's only fitting that we start craving a little vibrancy -- a little zing and a little green on our plates. Although our backyard tomato vines won't brim with fruit for several months, we can take comfort at Tutta Bella with the Insalata di Salerno ($8 small/$11 large). Ripe red cherry tomatoes, crispy cukes and bright shavings of fennel tumble together with velvety little balls of fresh mozzarella in a zesty vinaigrette with hints of mustard, pepper and basil. Each bite is like summer on a fork, no waiting required.

Post a commentI second this craving! Whenever I go to Tutta Bella (more often than I care to admit), I end up ordering this salad, despite the other delicious-sounding salad options. I am never disappointed.
Completely and total worth the trip for any serious pie lovers.
