At the link above you can find the video recipe of my new salad idea.
You need:
fresh mixed greens
1/2 cucumber
1/2 green apple
1 slice of sheep cheese "Sfizioso", you can find it at www.supermarketitaly.com
pistachios
2 tb of e.v.o. oil
1 scarse tb of balsamic vinegar
After rinsing everything off lay on a plate the greens first, then the thinly sliced cucumber and apple with or without the skin.
Cut the cheese (hi hi) in cubes and sprinkle it on top.
Prepare the vinaigrette in a separate bowl with the oil, balsamic and salt (just enough). Stir it with a fork and then pour it on top of the salad.
Top with pistachios.
Enjoy!

Tuna Steak with Basil/Caper sauce and a light salad
Thank goodness I remembered to go to the store this week before the snow started coming down!
Today I put together an awesome meal. I'm sorry. I'm never full of myself. But today I'm proud. I finally cooked a tuna steak to perfection!
Tuna Steak with Basil and Caper sauce and small fresh Arugula Salad.
Ingredients:
Fresh tuna steak, 1 inch thick (I like to buy the ones that are particularly red)
for the sauce:
20 big leaves of fresh basil
2 table spoons of capers
white vinegar
1 slice white bread no crust
extra vergine olive oil
salt
1 table spoon of water
for the salad:
fresh rainbow carrots
fresh arugula
organic multicolored cherry tomatoes
1 table spoon of oil per serving
1 tea spoon of balsamic vinegar per serving
salt
How to cook the steak:
Get a non sticky pan very hot, so hot that smoke starts coming out of it. Put the steak in and cook 4 minutes per side. If you're buying a thinner steak, cooking times are going to be 3 minutes per side.
Do not season the steak before it goes in the pan.
How to make the sauce:
Wet the bread with the white vinegar and a spoon of water, add the capers, the basil, oil and salt and mix everything until smooth and creamy.
Arrange in a beautiful presentation: top the steak with a teaspoon of olive oil, salt and pepper, put the salad on the side of it and leave some room for the sauce.
Amazing.
Enjoy!
