Scorching heat in Bologna is really crazy, we are frantically searching for a bit of relief every minute of the day…
Sure, it’s summer, it’s the first day of August but damn these temperatures are killing us!!!!!
The idea of entering the kitchen of my apartment didn’t really thrill me, I confess, but then I opted for a quick and easy rainbow salad and the minimal time needed to make it finally convinced me!!!
It’s a complete dish with cheese (goat), cured ham (or bresaola), nuts (pine nuts), fresh fruit, and vegetables (iceberg lettuce and cherry tomatoes) and today I finally found some fragrant and juicy tomatoes that seemed just picked from the field!
These cherry tomatoes from Semano’s company in Pachino are amazing, and I think it’s right to mention this company for this very fresh and definitely tasty product!
I dressed this colorful rainbow and very quick salad with a vinaigrette with Evo oil and balsamic vinegar from Modena which is really fantastic on many homemade dishes.
If you prefer fresh and nutrient-complete dishes with flavors in this hot and sunny weather, I also suggest these delicious recipes:
