Isn’t summer more colourful in everything? I tried to make another colour combination for this delicious and healthy summer salad for lunch.
Creamy Tomato Soup with Mascarpone Cheese – Great For Any Season
The first time I had that soup was at a school lunch in Ravintola Arabianranta. It was delicious and I was surprised to have such good food in that restaurant, which usually serves quite unidentifiable food.
Raw Zucchini Salad – With Colours of Summer
I looked everywhere for this salad. I wanted to have a colourful salad made out of only raw ingredients. I would have a green and yellow salad with a touch of red. I had zucchini and tomato so I looked everywhere for summer squash. None. I guess summer squash is as late as summer in the North.

I am as white (rather pale), calm and quiet apparently.

Cornsalad with yoghurt
Here is a little scenario: you worked all day in the office, you feel a little sick and it is Monday. Right before you leave the office, a friend calls and tells that he’d like to stop by for dinner. You don’t want to turn him down, so what do you do? You make a simple and delicious salad – after all, you shouldn’t be eating a heavy dinner anyway!
