Summer Meals

Updated: Apr 17, 2023

Summer has arrived earlier than expected and as a result, our culinary habits are changing. We are eating lighter, with rather cold and fresh meals, so here is what I suggest.

My favorite thing to do in the summer is to drink either milkshakes or smoothies. It's refreshing as well as super easy and quick to make. Here are the recipes:


Milkshake:

  • Take 5 spoonfuls of an ice cream (any one, personally I like to do with vanilla)

  • Use 1/4 liter of milk

  • Pour everything in the blender

  • Blend it all together

  • Put everything in a glass

  • And there you go, you have your milkshake


Smoothie:

  • Take some fruit (you can choose any kind, frozen or fresh)

  • Add a little milk and/or water

  • Put everything in the blender

  • Blend

  • Serve in a glass

  • And there you go


For me, summer means the return of the Tomato/Mozzarella/Basilica appetizer. It's an easy dish to make and delicious.


Tomato/Mozza:

  • Cut tomatoes into thin slices

  • Do the same with the mozzarella (preferably bufala)

  • Put everything on a plate

  • Drizzle with oil

  • Season with pepper and salt

  • And for the final touch, add some fresh basil


I also like to make salads because they are fresh, not too big and quick to prepare.


Salmon Salad:

  • Take some salad

  • Trim the leaves if they are too big

  • Cut your salmon into small squares

  • Put everything on a plate

  • Drizzle with oil and vinegar

  • Then add salt and pepper


Raw Ham Salad:

  • Take some salad

  • Trim the leaves if they are too big

  • Cut your raw ham into thin strips

  • Put everything on a plate

  • Drizzle with oil and vinegar

  • Then add salt and pepper


I also like to make toast (simple or with two slices of bath, which can be replaced by bagels for example).


Toast:

  • Take one or two slices of bread

  • Toast them (in the microwave, in the pan or in the oven)

  • Spread them with butter (or other)

  • Add salmon and salad (again, you can put whatever you want)

  • You can add salt and pepper

  • And serve in a plate


And of course, what could be better than eating fresh fruit in summer (well ok, apples are in season but they can be found all year round).
