Superstar Owner Fouad Alsharif Shows You at age 101, Salumeria Biellese is in it to win it with the superlative Salmon Salad!
Salumeria Biellese might have the oldest history in this column, but they are making their debut in Sensational Salads with the freshest salads near Madison Square Garden! If you have met her, you know that Peachy demonstrates a shocking resemblance in shrimp with her towering height, and what is better than being as tall as a shrimp? Of course, eating them on your salad! Delivered twice a week, the shrimp are grilled perfectly and rest on mixed greens adding protein in the most delicious way. They put the house dressing on the side for the resident Ms. Superpicky and hospitality is guaranteed here! We can reveal their secret to the House dressing is vinaigrette, olive oil, dijon mustard, anchovies, chives, and lemon juice. The Grilled Salmon Salad, Fouad's favorite, might be our favorite too this visit. It was the first salad that magically disappeared in entirety, and actions speak louder than words, readers. A gorgeous slice of Grilled Salmon is a revelation in flavor with just the right dusting of black pepper, with lemon vinaigrette, of course on the side as she asked.
Grilled Chicken Caesar is a commanding classic and avid readers know that Peachy only likes Caesar Salads dressed. A whole breast of chicken comes to the party and like the other salads we've mentioned so far, it is a complete meal. Salumeria Biellese sets the standard for Prosciutto, so this salad may be the greatest professional triumph. THEY MAKE THEIR OWN. Yes, Salumeria Biellese is not only one of the most spectacular delis in town only for 101 years, but also it produces and originates meats starting from the original owners Piedmont origins in Italy. When they came to New York in 1925, they customized on a proprietary basis meats for other restaurants, which they still do to this day as we showed you earlier this year at the amazing show BALDOR BITE, and Sirio Maccioni of Le Cirque is among the notable clients they have had. This exact prosciutto today is made in Hackensack, New Jersey and is finished with molasses, adding just the right sweetness. The Prosciutto and Mozzarella salad (Mozzarella is made fresh on premises) is with mixed greens. So if you are a restaurant that wants to customize your meat, call our friend Fouad.
The Mixed Salad, above, is a perfect side salad of simplicity with mixed greens and carrots, and the Biricchino Salad, below, boasts Mesclun mixed greens, ripe tomatoes, shredded carrots, red onions and shaved Parmigiano Reggiano. Of course, Biricchino is also a Peachy's Pick and to even be in this column, you must be and you must demonstrate a high salad aptitude. (They have the most smashing homepage too!)
Of course, Peachy cannot visit Salumeria Biellese and ignore the sandwiches.
No one can live on salad alone and if you are, you are not living your best life.
The Italian Combo is one of the very best in the city, and certainly no one else we know of has their own vertical meat business to supply themselves with the utmost freshness. Capicola, salami and provolone are a trifecta of victory and that alone would be a hat trick to a normal person but Peachy wanted Mozzarella too and we think that makes it even more spectacular, and Ham and Cheese is absolutely a sophisticated revelation here with the perfectly pink succulent slices of ham paired with the house-crafted mozzarella! Everything of course is made to order.
Words do not begin to approach the total majesty of Chicken Valdostana.
We didn't even know what it was until we started eating it here. Sherry wine sauce with fontina cheese and cream captures chicken in a succulent flavor of moist luxury that tantalizes your tastebuds and every time you eat it again you will think it gets better and better. You have to have this sandwich.
Peachy heard hers singing in Times Square afterwards:
And find I'm king of the hill, top of the list, you bet
And I'm the right, king of the heap
Salumeria Biellese continues to be Highly Recommended by Whom You Know, especially for salads!
