Fresh Summer Salad with Cucumbers and Stracciatella
Tips:
It’s a good solution especially in summer when appetite decreases due to the scorching heat, and you feel the need for something fresh and appetizing.
It’s inviting and yet easy to prepare, complete with the more nutritious cheese and very hydrating cucumber.
I also recommend accompanying it with some good homemade bread because I’m sure it will become irresistible to dip into the delicious fresh cheese. As my mother always said when I had no appetite as a child, this famous phrase that I never forget: “appetite comes with eating.” with this recipe, I definitely agree with her even more. 🙂
