risoni salade met komkommer en tomaat

So… Back from Lugano.. What a gorgeous area and what gorgeous food and what a lot of icecream… That just about sums up the last couple of days. Ofcourse you will get an extensive report on the travel but for now I really need to get back to work. Lots of recipes to make this week, emails to answer and in general lots of stuff to finish. And it is also about time to start getting my act together and get back on the healthy eating track. Summer is around the corner, our garden is ready but I am no where near it yet…

Thanks goodness the dishes I will be shooting this week are all healthy. well almost all. Vegetables play the major part in this cookbook and that is a good thing. Imagine the result if I had to shoot cakes this week! Sigh… This salad is delicious, healthy and fairly quick. Ideal for a good and good for you lunch I think!

Enjoy and I’ll go back to work now!
