As with all good Ligurian dishes, the success of this recipe depends on the quality of the ingredients you use. Try to find an assortment of greens, such as mache, mesclun, arugula, Belgian endive, and radicchio, that are contrasting in flavor, texture, and color. Be sure that the funghi porcini you use are pristine and that you have washed them assiduously. The walnuts (or optional pinoli) should be fresh and buttery in taste.
