Cucumber Tomato Salad with Feta Cheese and Green Onions
Not that summer is over yet, but I will miss the freshness of these veggies! I think the fresher the ingredients the less you really have to do with them. In fact it probably works against the flavor.
This salad is simple and made me happy and I felt like eating something healthy. Cucumbers, Tomatoes, scallions, Feta cheese and of course extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper. No more, no less.
Tuna and Red Pepper Pizza
So there is something missing from Pizza places in the US. There are a couple things I am surprised by in this country, in good and bad ways equally. One of them is tuna missing from pizzas. Maybe I just haven't gotten to the right place? Anyway, made my own. The Pizza dough was made from scratch. There are tons of recipes online. The best pizza dough recipes are made with flour, water, yeast and salt. Part of the water can be replaced with white wine and depending on the toppings a little honey can be added. Pretty easy. If you let the dough rise and than put it in the fridge for a couple hours or even over night, it makes the pizza really chevy and close to restaurant bought crust! This pizza was inspired by a computer game my sister and I played years ago, called Pizza Connection. Obviously you sold Pizzas, but you also created them. Symmetry of ingredients was key to selling more pizzas. This 'Pizza Connection Pizza' was made with red peppers and strips of tuna, cheddar cheese, garlic and sprinkled with fresh scallions.
