The Leaning Tower and Duomo, Pisa

Chapter 3: Salads

Location: Pisa — The Leaning Tower

Six centuries of trying to fix a foundation that was never quite level, and the tower still leans. There’s something almost defiant about it — an accident of soft subsoil that became one of the most recognizable silhouettes on earth, precisely because no one could fully correct it.

Tuscan salads share a bit of that same unfussy character: simple, seasonal, built from whatever’s ripest, dressed with good olive oil and little else. This chapter leans into that simplicity — twelve salads that prove a low-carb plate doesn’t need to apologize for what it’s missing.
