” Salad Of Romaine, Salame, Gorgonzola & Pomegranate / Blueberry Dressing “

.
.
Although I love pasta and stews of any kind more than any other food,
a close third place is definitely a nice salad. Last night the salad God’s
were knocking at my door, leaving me with this wonderful, quick and easy
concoction :
Romaine, salame, roquefort, egg, carrot, tomato, onion and
pomegranate / blueberry Dressing.
Salad Heaven, right there 🙂
.

.

.
Ingredient’s :

Romaine lettuce, cut
Tomatoes, sliced
Onions, sliced
Carrots, julienned
Eggs, made into thin crepe, julienned
Garlic, paste
Salame, thickly julienned
Gorgonzola, coarsely crumbled
Dressing, Pomegranate / blueberry/garlic

Method :

Mix all ingredients lightly and serve with a slice of rustic bread
to mop up the dressing and bits at the bottom of the plate.

In this case I used ready made dressing ( Litehouse Pom / Blueberry),
which I enhanced a bit to my taste with garlic paste. Obviously the
choice of dressing, as well as any other ingredient to this salad is
open to change and additions. Just follow your heart, your
cravings and your phantasy 🙂

Bon Appetit ! Life is Good !

Method :

Add all Ingredients except cream to a large stock pot and simmer for about 2,5 hours.

” Rigatone Carbonara “, with tomatoes and Basil
.
Bella and I sharing breakfast.
(Don’t worry, I have my own bowl, on the table. 🙂

My version of “Carbonara” :
Wisk 2 egg yolks and 1 whole egg with 1/2 cup milk,
2 tbsp parmesan, kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
Saute 3 cup’s rigatone in butter (use olive oil if you prefer), until
pasta becomes lightly crispy on a few spots.
Add egg mixture, tomatoes and chiffonade of basil and cook
until egg’s start to set. Share with a loved one .
