my favorite frenchy salad



Last night I tried doing an awesome salad I tried at a brasserie near L'Opéra de Paris last time I was around (which is, by the way, not very often). It's basically two types of lettuce, dates filled with roquefort, small toasts with camembert, prociutto and a passion fruit dressing. This is what it looks like... minus the dressing, obviously.

Gazpacho

Gazpacho: the perfect entree during summer days and nights.
Perfectly refreshing, amazing flavors and diet-y.




Ingredients
8 Big tomatoes - seeded
1 Green pepper- seeded
1 Large cucumber - seeded
3 Cloves garlic
1 Medium size onion
1/4 lb prociutto
Parmesan cheese
Croutons
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper


Preparation
Combine the tomatoes, the green pepper, the large cucumber, the garlic cloves and the onion in a blender or food processor while seasoning with olive oil, salt and pepper. Once it's all processed, chill for a couple of hours.

Just before serving it, cut in to very small pieces the prociutto and sprinkle it in the gazpacho with the croutons and the parmesan. Guaranteed succes.
