MLLA 23

today I came back home very very late. monday is a beautiful day, beacause I'm non working and usually we do looooong trekking!

or as to day...a looong bike trip.

we went from Salionze (that's near Peschiera del Garda) to Mantova.

87km!! 

of course, those of you that go regulary in bike, will laugh..

but for me, it is a record!

oh yeah!!

I'm sooo proud of myself!

so..what can be more quick and easy to prepare

when you are tired and satisfied..

than a ...

 lentil salad with prosciutto crudo (raw Italian ham)

you need:

leftover lentils*

grated carrots

small pieces of prosciutto crudo (or other ham)

some rosemary needles

dressing:

fresh juice from one orange

extravergin olive oil

salt and peppe

just mix the ingredients, and season with the dressing.

serve lukewarm or cold it is very tasty in both ways.

brigida_ate: 

you can cook the lentils with orange peel, that gives it a extra nice flavor.

or try with some aromatic herbs, like rosemary, salvia or majoran
