Why this recipe works
Gnocchi salad with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil
Gnocchi salad should taste lukewarm or fresh when cooled. Fry the gnocchi briefly after cooking so that they are slightly crispy on the outside. The dressing is only added when the gnocchi are no longer hot, otherwise the rocket will collapse.
