Fans Couldn't Wait To Try Giada De Laurentiis' Simple Super Bowl Snack Recipe

While Super Bowl has come and gone, viewers might still wonder how it would have gone out if a coach had called a different play at a key moment or a party host had called an audible when planning the menu. Chicken wings rank among the most popular Super Bowl foods, and other party stapes include chips and dip. You might find some guacamole on the table, but a lot of menus probably didn't make veggies a star of the show. In fact, a Mashed poll found that more than a third of respondents think wings are the best food to bring to a Super Bowl party. But a Giada De Laurentiis snack hack seemed to make some fans eager to chop up plenty of vegetables and add them to the table.

On her Instagram account, De Laurentiis posted a video about an Italian recipe that fans could add to their roster of Super Bowl dips. It's called pinzimonio, which Eataly describes as "a Tuscan salad featuring seasonal vegetables." A centuries-old dish with roots in the Rennaisance, it looks like it takes no time to make. De Laurentiis said all it needs is "a simple combination of olive oil and salt" to go with the veggies. Although plain sea salt would work based on Eataly's recipe, she suggested using a salt blend from Dario Cecchini called Perfume of Chianti in order "to elevate it a little bit." Its ingredients include herbs and lavender. At the end of the video, she cheered for the eventual winners, the Los Angeles Rams. While some Bengal fans in the comments had to root for their team, some commenters also cheered the snack idea.
