8Vitello Tonnato

A unique and beloved dish from northern Italy, Vitello Tonnato is often served during festive occasions like Christmas. Thinly sliced veal is slow-cooked until tender, then chilled and covered with a creamy, flavorful sauce made from tuna, capers, anchovies, and mayonnaise. 

This cold appetizer offers a delicious contrast of flavors—savory, tangy, and smooth—making it a standout start to a holiday meal. It’s especially popular in regions like Piedmont, where it adds a touch of elegance to Christmas gatherings.
