17/11/2023

The piadina with salmon and yogurt sauce is a simple and tasty dish, perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

  • 4 piadine from Romagna
  • 200 g of smoked salmon
  • 1 head of lettuce
  • 2 ripe tomatoes
  • 200 g of Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
  • Fresh dill (to taste)
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper q.b.

For the yogurt sauce:

  • 200 g of Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
  • Chopped fresh dill (to taste)
  • Salt and pepper q.b.

Preparation

  1. Start by preparing the yogurt sauce. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt with lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the chopped dill. If you prefer a more fluid sauce, you can add a tablespoon of water or milk. Stir well until the sauce is smooth and refrigerate to cool it down.

  2. Slice the tomatoes into thin slices and set aside. Wash the lettuce, drain it and cut it coarsely.

  3. Slightly warm the piadine in a non-stick pan or a piadina griddle to make them softer and more easily foldable.

  4. Arrange the piadine on a work surface and begin assembling the dish: distribute a layer of lettuce on each piadina, then add the tomato slices and smoked salmon. Season the salmon with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a grind of pepper if desired.

  5. Add a spoonful of yogurt sauce on each piadina. If you love aromatic herbs, you can enrich with additional chopped dill on the sauce.

  6. Roll each piadina on itself or fold it in half to contain the filling.

Serve the piadina with salmon with an extra spoonful of yogurt sauce on the side for those who would like to add more.

Curiosity

The piadina from Romagna is a typical product of the Emilia-Romagna region, known throughout Italy and appreciated for its versatility. It can be stuffed in many ways, with both savory and sweet ingredients. The version with salmon and yogurt is a fresher and lighter interpretation compared to the classic piadina which might include more fatty cold cuts and cheeses.

Remember that the recipe can be customized to your liking, so do not hesitate to replace or add ingredients according to your tastes!
