I have had a wonderful summer in the kitchen creating new fun and simple recipes. So, let’s hit the pool and dial up the flavor of your summer lamb shop and couscous salad.

This Moroccan salad is boosted with extra nutrients. Sardines has excellent taste qualities and is an excellent source of proteins, amino acids and unsaturated Omega-3 fat. Rich in mineral and vitamins. You can easily purchase these in any supermarket.

Insalata Caprese. It’s simple. You only need a few ingredients to come up with this refreshing summer dish. This salad takes just 8 to 10 minutes to put together. I’m using cherry tomatoes but any type you substitute with will taste great. Perfect as a side dish or appetizer.

From the south of this seaside city of France, salade Niçoise [nee’swaz] is definitely a summer dish. Over a 100 years old! If you’re in Nice, you cannot avoid it, Ratatouille included trust me, i live there for a year. What I love about it is the contrast of all the vegetables, protein packed and so delicious. It is very important that you have a good quality anchovy.
