This historically delicious salad is AUTHENTICALLY CATHERINE DE MEDICI's favorite salad as borne out in history books. It is also known as Insalata di Caterina (Catherine's Salad), Misticanza del pastore (Shepherd's Mixture) or Insalata Rinascimentale (Renaissance Salad). Picked up this recipe while I was in Florence, it is salad with that peculiar anchovy taste. A new twist for discriminating guests. This recipe from Paolo Petroni's ''The Complete Book of Florentine Coooking'', Florentine delegate to the Accademia Italiana della Cucina. TRIED AND TESTED, GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC.
