Been enjoying these two salads a lot this summer. The top one is a chopped guacamole salad which is simply chopping up the onion, tomato and jalapeños into a bowl, grating in the garlic clove with a bit of lime zest, s & p, then mixing well with a 50/50 lime/olive oil dressing. Add the chopped avocado and parsley, toss again and you’re done.

This one below is a roasted red pepper salad, but I “cheat” and use a jar of roasted piquillo peppers (and so can you 😉). Sauté 2-3 sweet onions with about 10 sliced garlic cloves in evoo, bit of s & p. Once the onions start to caramelise add the piquillo peppers, let that cook a bit and then let it cool down to room temp before serving. Great as a side dish or topping. Enjoy!

sevilla, summer, weather

What a difference a week makes. We’ve gone from 45ºC to temps between 32-35ºC and with a lovely breeze too. I know I said I didn’t care what I spent on AC this summer – I was going to be comfortable in my home! – but I have to admit when the July bill came in it was a shocker. August will probably be similar, if not more, but from now on… just sitting here at my desk with the balcony doors open and my fan on and it’s perfect. Pic taken while hobbling home (that’s my street!). Every day I am so happy to still living in my favourite barrio. 💙
