Fresh from our garden for dinner tonight
The last of the peas, green beans and new tomatoes.
Update:
This was our dinner.
The presentation was from the cookbook Patricia Wells" Salad as a Meal
She is one of our favourite cook book authors and the salad was a fresh take on this Provencal classic.
We really liked the separation of the individual components- the vegetables were individually tossed in a light lemon and oil dressing ( I added touch of garlic).
Patricia used fresh tuna, grilled- we do not have that available locally so we tried two types of Trader Joe's canned tuna- the yellow fin and solid white - both in oil.
We liked the yellow fin best- it has more solid pinker chunks as seen on the top of the plate. It was very similar to our favourite Italian tuna which is readily available in Sydney - Sirena
The Bandol Bastide Blanche 2011 Rose was a perfect match.
