Salad with grilled courgette and feta
The first time the foodblogswap was organized I played along, but after that it kind of didn’t happen. Stupid because I love the concept, but as it happens, there are so many things I like that sometimes choices have to be made. But… you guessed it; I will be participating this month!
The blog I got assigned this time is the blog named Kookmeisje (cooking girl) and I have to confess that I didn’t really know her very well. But that is the fun part about the foodblogswap; you discover new blogs and it gives you the opportunity to test out recipes. The funny thing is that her blog reminded me of the one by reismeisje (travel girl) and I thought for a minute they would be related but it doesn’t look that way..
The blog from Anne-Ruth is filled with deliciousness but like I said yesterday I really need to watch my calorie intake for a while so I had no other choice but to look at the salads and skip the ridiculously tasty chocolate meringues with orangecream and rhubarb compote… Life is hard.. The salad is simple to make and I had it for lunch yesterday. Delicious and that dressing is a winner. I will for sure test out some more recipes from kookmeisje but for now I will stick to the salad. Not such a bad thing either right?

Ellen was the one cooking from my blog this month and she chose the couscous salad with raspberries and halloumi. I love anything with halloumi so good choice!
