Milano Salami Sausage, with Olives and Tomatoes


Some Milano Salami from the local Co-op, served along with stuffed green olives, baby plum tomatoes, diced flat parsley, and spiralised apple. Grate your apple if you don't have a spiraliser. 

According to wikipedia, Milano Salami is "a very common and traditional Italian sausage made from equal portions of minced beef, pork and fat. The salami is seasoned with garlic and pepper, moistened with white wine and dry cured."

Not bad at all.

Added to a baby leaf salad mix of four different colours of lettuce, button mushrooms, and halved baby plum tomatoes. Dressed in freshly ground black pepper.

Strawberry and Blueberry Fruit Salad


A fruit salad with diced Scottish strawberries, and blueberries from somewhere, neither of which were doused in sugar or alcohol and marinated in the fridge. Just doused in single cream. It is still early in the season, so those things can wait. Delicious!
