Smokey Paprika Salad

Pointed peppers :) - in rings.
Tomatoes.

Dressing from lemon juice, a little mayonnaise, a little gurkenwater, oil, something sweet, salt, pepper. We put some fresh thyme.

Cubed scamorza, pickled gurken, and a few green olives as topping. Some paprika.

Scamorza D-Light

Try to get hold of some lovely smoked Mozarella cheese - Scamorza. Comes in a funny shape.

This is a smoky Cesar variation.

Some green lettuce will do, wash and dry.

A shallot, very finely chopped sits in some lemon juice, salt and olive oil with orange marmalade. Add mayonnaise to make it creamy.

Add croutons to taste.

Anitpasti Salad

Marinade some sundried tomatoes and grilled red peppers in balsamico, olive oil, salt, pepper, a little soy sauce, a little hot water, thyme and fresh parsley overnight.

Add some rocket, sprinkle with lemon juice and olive oil and some of the marinade, top with antipasti.

Have with or without some mozarella. I will have to check the story with the baby calves before I will put it in a recipe again, as I would like to be able to state "no baby calves were harmed in the making of this salad". Who wouldn't.
