In this sentence there is an error: North American-style Italian dressing is unknown in Italy, where salad is normally dressed with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and black pepper at table, and not with a pre-mixed vinaigrette. Black pepper is almost never used to dress salad in Italy. --TheLoneTraveller (talk) 10:59, 17 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hmm. Waverly Root, The Food of Italy, p. 642: "Insalata siciliana [has] the standard salad dressing of olive oil, wine vinegar, salt and pepper." In looking over various Italian cookbooks, I see that though many salads are dressed without pepper, many others (especially composed salads) do include pepper. Oil, vinegar, and salt are certainly more 'central' than pepper, though. --Macrakis (talk) 16:11, 17 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
