salad with croutons

I should be working these days, but it is still to hot trekking, so the turists prefer stay on the beach :)
that is ok with me...beacuse it means I can go trekking with my friends..simoo and monica.

we are a good team, same condition, same taste, same minds.
that is rare this days, and with the bad luck I had before with best friends..
this seems almost like a miracle for me.
I'm very pleased about this friendship. :)




as it is still hot and sticky...my cuisine is most salds, panzanella and gazpacho :)


this salad has nothing special, but I wanted to give you un idea how to recycle old bread.
if you don't want to put it away in breadcrumbs
another tasty way is to make croutons of it.


salad with croutons

for the salad:


salad
2 mozzarella
1 red "tropea" onion
180 canned thuna
6-7 tomatoes
2 cold boild potatos
2 carrots

for the croutons:

some slices of old bread made of durum wheat
extravergin olive oil
garlic cloves
thyme
chili
cummin (if you like)


wash and clean all the vegetables.
chop and cut in slices.
season with balsamic vinegar and extravergin olive oil.
adjust with salt and pepper

cut the bread in small cubes.
heat the oil in a pan together with the species.
add the bread cubes, toss on high heat (it will smoke!) until toasted.
add to the salad at the moment you serve, so they will remain crunchy.
