The cappon magro

Cappon magro (Italian: [kapˈpom ˈmaːɡro]; Ligurian: capon magro, Ligurian: [kaˌpuŋ ˈmaːɡru]) is an elaborate Genoese salad of seafood and vegetables over hardtack arranged into a decorative pyramid and dressed with a rich sauce.

A similar but much less elaborate dish is called capponata in Liguria (Ligurian: cappunadda), capponata in Sardinia, and caponata estiva or caponata di pesce in Campania. It is a salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, lettuce, hard-boiled eggs, bottarga, and dried tuna dressed with olive oil.[1]
