"Using the highest quality ingredients is key to this salad. Pete used Di Palo’s cacciatorini (hunter’s sausage) that’s rich with red wine and garlic. A tip for easily removing a dried salami casing: soak the links in warm water for 10 minutes to loosen the casing. Sicilian Castelvetrano olives are a good choice for their meaty, fruity, buttery flavor...."
