    1 vote
    As I said before, Summer comes with all kinds of fruit and vegetables that can be combined into simple and refreshing salads. They are welcome at home and summer parties. To be enjoyed with all kinds of ades (for the kids?) or white wines (including the bubbly ones). In Japan, sake of course!

    Ingredients

    • Zucchini: 1 preferably green, but yellow would be intereesting (or even a combination of the two!)
    • Grapefruit: hal a fruit
    • Dill: 5~6 sprigs
    • Olive oil (EV): half a large tablespoon
    • Fresh cream: 1 and half large tablespoons
    • Salt and white pepper (to taste). One may add (up to a point) other spices including chili pepper! One may use ground black pepper instead of white pepper for better effect!

    Directions

    1. -Cut extremities of zucchini and discard. Cut into very thin slices. Warap inside cellophane paper and leave in microwave oven for 2 minutes. Cool and then chill. Discard water.
    2. -Extract flesh out of grafruit and cut wedges into small bits.
    3. Separate “leaves” from dill sprigs as finely as possible.
    4. -In a bowl, pour oil, salt, fresh cream and mix. Add dill and mix. Add zucchini and grapefruit.
    5. Arrange into individual dishes as delicately (lovingly?) as possible. The visual effect is most important!
    6. I leave to you as to which variation you might tempted to try!
