The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Copy the famous Italian salad from Buca di Beppo. It's loaded with cheese, veggies, sausage, olives, and peppers.
4 ounces Italian vinaigrette salad dressing
4 ounces roasted red bell peppers
3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
3 ounces provolone cheese, diced
1 ounce pepperoni, thinly sliced pieces
1 1/2 ounce mortadella, thinly sliced pieces
3 pepperoncini peppers
2 black olives
2 green olives
3 ounces red onions, julienned
7 ounces cucumbers, sliced and halved
8 ounces Roma tomatoes, wedged
20 ounces lettuce mixture
Place the greens, tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers in a mixing bowl. Add the dressing and toss well. Mound onto a plate.
Lay mortadella across one side of the salad and the pepperoni across the other.
Spread diced provolone over the top.
Place roasted peppers over the provolone cheese.
Place crumbled feta over the peppers.
Place pepperoncini over the top.
Place the black olives on each end of the plate and the green olives on the sides and serve.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

A tasty stroll through Italy on a platter. A Buca classic! My wifeâs favourite dinner with a crusty baguette and garlic butter!
How could anyone not like this salad? It sounds heavenly.

This makes a very elegant and delicious salad!
I totally love Buca di Beppo's 1893 salad and used to have it when it was in Colorado Springs, CO. I have invited friends over to eat and plan on preparing the salad using this recipe. Looking forward to it.
