According to legend, pizza Margherita symbolizes the colors of the Italian flag with red tomatoes, white mozzarella and which green herb?
Answer Basil
If you order a pizza Margherita, you'll get a pie with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil leaves. Some believe the pie was first created to honor Queen Margherita of Savoy by mimicking the Italian flag, but examples of this pizza predate her reign by nearly a century.
