In detail
This salad is usually part of rodízios (all-you-can-eat restaurants, also known as sequências) specialized in poussin and pasta at Serra Gaúcha (Rio Grande do Sul state’s area), thanks to the influence of Italian immigrants. It is also very common in Italian restaurants of South and Southeast regions.
