my big fantastic greek salad


Greek Salad

I absolutely love this salad. It's BIG, serves 8 -10. It's fantastic because it's delicious, hearty and healthy.  And it's Greek, well mostly Greek because Greek Salad originally do not have lettuce and mine does. Crispy Romaine lettuce is just a perfect addition. Honestly this is one of the best Greek Salad recipes you will ever encounter. 
Veja no final deste post a receita em português.

Insalatta Caprese / Caprese Salad

 
Caprese Salad or Insalata Caprese is addictive. The flavors and textures of this salad will make you hum, hum again and ask for more. This is a classic Italian salad that combines tomato, fresh mozzarella, and basil. They are also a three musketeers salad as the three main ingredients work so well together.

Tomato Feta Cheese Basil Salad



This is a great salad for summer time when tomatoes are at their best and you can easily find fresh basil.

egyptian red lentil soup / Shorbaat Aads


I love this soup and it is so so easy to make. I learned this recipe while I lived in Egypt and I adapted it to my palate. My recipe does not have cumin neither turmeric, which are common spices in Egyptian cuisine. If you like them then go ahead and add them. The most important thing is to follow you palate.
There are many versions of this soup. This is a very simple one. The way my kids like it.
