Presa di Sale

An Italian imprecise measurement for salt.

Much more than “un pizzico di sale” (a pinch of salt), it’s as much salt as you can scoop up with the ends of your four longer fingers held together.

Though it means literally a “taking of salt”, it’s perhaps better thought of in English as a (hand) scoop of salt.
