Piece of life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The temperature has dropped, the rain is more frequent, the day is rising later [and ending earlier], and the sun is starting to embrace us in the typical ways of a fall day. Anyway, you can see where I’m going with this. Summer is slowly starting to fade away. Although fall is my favourite season [I’m already planning on my apple and squash picking with my kids and all the beautiful recipes that will come with our harvests], I admit to watching summer leaving with some nostalgia. But we can still enjoy the pleasant juicy summer fruits for some time, so we must not miss the boat! So, let’s load ourselves on vitamins to prepare for the colder months ahead. And that’s what I had in mind when designing this pretty, colourful and fresh salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Oh, and taking the opportunity to buy seasonal fruits and vegetable crates and freeze them for the winter. At the market, I especially buy the products from the called category 2, it’s usually slightly damaged products, “out of shape,” small spots\u2026 I mean, products that have a harder chance of selling. On the other hand, they are more economical and are all as good as category one [and sometimes better].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fruits are something to add to your summer salads [but not only do not forget the citrus in the winter]. They bring freshness and a sweet\/savoury contrast that is very pleasant. The association of roasted nectarines in olive oil, the bitterness of the arugula and the burrata’s sweetness seems just perfect. They do not forget the soft crunch of the pine nuts [any other nut would work well too].<\/p>\n\n\n\n


But it is not always easy to find associations that work well. So, I wanted to get in touch with you about a book I recently discovered that will become a staple in my library: “L’essentiel de Chartier, l’ABC des harmonies aromatiques \u00e0 table et en cuisine.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

In the form of individual cards, this book presents foods from all categories [vegetables, fruits, meats, fish, etc.] with a list of ingredients and wines that fit well with them. In addition, there are some recipe suggestions for each product. This book is a true gold mine and will help you find many recipe association ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I regularly prepare salads with fruits [and more and more often]. The blog already has a few that should satisfy those who like this salad. Why not a quinoa & fig salad<\/a> or a quinoa salad with feta & pomegranate<\/a>? I’m sure you are going to like it.<\/p>\n\n\n
