Eusebi Deli, Glasgow

“This dish is a tribute to my grandmother – it’s for every market we visited and every meal we shared at her house in Italy where she celebrated the seasons as a farmer and cook. Vignarola salad is a medley of summer vegetables and leaves to be enjoyed on these lighter, warmer days.” Giovanna Eusebi, head chef, eusebideli.com
