I love a sweet-and-savory flavor combination, and this panini recipe is the perfect example of that. Italian plum jam has such a wonderful honey-like flavor, and paired with crispy prosciutto, melty mozzarella and Parmesan, it’s a ridiculously divine combination. This is an ultimate comfort food! I like to pair it with a simple greens salad to cut through the richness.

Kale Salad With Prosciutto And Figs
If you need a seriously beautiful centerpiece of a salad for any of your fall and winter gatherings, this is the one! Between sweet seasonal figs, salty prosciutto, chopped Italian lettuces, gorgonzola, and a creamy vinaigrette - this one is definitely a crowd pleaser that you'll make over and over. I like to freeze the gorgonzola so that I can shave it right onto the salad, but you can definitely crumble it on too.

Zingara (Ischian Panini)
You can find all kinds of fillings for this sandwich in Ischia, which is effectively a panino, but the traditional ingredients are prosciutto crudo, mozzarella, tomatoes, lettuce and mayo. Here, we kept it close to tradition… with a bit of a Giadzy spin, of course.

This Mediterranean couscous salad is inspired by the flavors of Sicily - with lemon, fresh mint and basil, sweet-tart cranberries and crunchy almonds, it's a lot of bright flavor and satisfying texture.

Italian Crab Salad
In our opinion, a crab salad should be all about the crab! This creamy, satisfying salad is jampacked with crab and accented with crunchy green beans and buttery avocado. It’s perfect for an easy weeknight dinner but equally as impressive for a date night.

Zucchini Burrata Crudo
This zucchini crudo is simply topped with salt, lemon zest, pink peppercorns, burrata, basil and olive oil. The key is to slice the zucchini thinly - it softens and marinates with all the flavors.

PLAT Sandwich (Pancetta, Lettuce, Avocado & Tomato)
There's nothing like a BLT with fresh tomatoes in summer, and this zesty Italian spin is a delicious switch-up from the norm. Salty pancetta replaces bacon and a spicy Calabrian chili mayo adds some heat and brightness to the mix. PS - the mayo is equally delicious on burgers, with fries, and anything else you can dream up.

Black Rice Salad
The perfect prep-ahead lunch! This hearty and healthy salad holds up in the fridge, and everything gets a little better after the flavors marry together overnight. The fresh herbs and orange segments along with the light pickling of the cucumbers adds a sort of vibrant interest in every bite. You can use any type of grain for this salad and follow the cooking instructions on the package, but we love using this striking Artemide black rice from Riso Buono.

Turkey Piccata Panini
We love a briny moment here at Giadzy, so it is no wonder that are obsessed with piccata. Why not pack all of those classic flavors into a crunchy, cheesy panino? The bright and punchy flavor of capers and lemon make perfect balance with gooey cheese and crispy bread. This is a super easy way to elevate the classic turkey sandwich, all while giving it some Italian flair.
On the wooden cutting board, there are grilled sandwich halves filled with ham, cheese, mustard and small pieces of apple. Three are stacked on top of each other and one is next to them. There is a sprig of thyme, and a glass container of Tuscan mustard. Apple Panini, Cheese Apples, Giada De Laurentiis Recipes, Healthy Italian, Toast Sandwich, Apples And Cheese, Gruyere Cheese

Mediterranean Couscous Salad
This Mediterranean couscous salad is inspired by the flavors of Sicily – with lemon, fresh mint and basil, sweet-tart cranberries and crunchy almonds, it’s a lot of bright flavor and satisfying texture. While couscous isn’t thought of as Italian, but made of Semolina flour, it actually is a pasta! You can substitute any small pasta like orzo, or even fregola for an extra toasty, delicious flavor.
