The Pantesca salad or Pantelleria salad (Italian: insalata pantesca) is a typical dish of the island of Pantelleria.

It is prepared with boiled potatoes, tomatoes and red onions, seasoned with pitted olives, Pantelleria capers, oregano and olive oil.[1] It is usually accompanied by mackerel in oil,[2][3] but also by typical fresh cheeses such as tumma[4] or boiled egg pieces.[2] In ancient times, roasted dried fish was used instead of mackerel.[2]
