Preparation

20 minutes preparation

In a large salad bowl put the anchovies, boiled cauliflower, jardinière, pickled Neapolitan peppers, escarole and lettuce, all chopped, and the capers and olives. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, oil and vinegar, and mix well. In a container soak the “freselle” (crisp round bread croutons) in vinegar and wine; once softened, crumble rather roughly into the salad bowl and mix well, leveling off the top. On the top arrange the boiled mackerel dressed with oil and lemon juice.
