Top 20 Seasonal Salad Recipes from Provence

The best thing about salads is their versatility. Some salads are delicate and meant to be eaten right away, and others are well-suited for transport to, say, a picnic or a potluck; some versions taste even better the following day. While many salads are typically cold or at room temperature, many recipes have warm ingredients. Below we have selected 20 of our favourite salads from Provence that we hope you will enjoy.
