Anyone else around here who eats salads during the summer? And someone else who at the end of July no longer has new ideas and ends up always eating the same salad? And I recognize that having a varied repertoire and to the taste of the whole family is not always easy, that's why I try different salads and those that I like the most at home I keep to share with you. And, what do you want me to tell you, this pickled chicken salad with mango, goat cheese and walnuts has gone out the front door!!

I admit that one of the things that is most difficult for me to eat at home in the summer are legumes, and the truth is that it does not surprise me because I am the first who, as soon as the heat arrives, only wants fresh things. Is it your case too? Well, I can only tell you one thing… You have to try this spicy chickpea and mango salad!

When summer arrives, salads are the protagonists of our table. They are refreshing, light, healthy and you can make them as tasty as you want. What happens to me, yes, is that I get very tired of always repeating the same ingredients or condiments, and I have a high opinion of the most classic salads. That is why I am always looking for different things.

Tofu is the most used food to substitute meat. So if you have decided to reduce the consumption of animal protein in your diet, a good option is to use this ingredient. Although when you try it for the first time, you will surely find it a bit bland… But I have the solution! If we make marinated tofu, its flavor changes radically and we can use it in multiple preparations and add a plus of flavor.

If there is a salad that defines Italian gastronomy, that is without a doubt the caprese salad. The base of this salad is mozzarella and fresh tomato seasoned with fresh basil. From there the variations are endless. I have eaten it as a normal salad, assembled as if it were a millefeuille, on a board with the ingredients separately and in a stuffed tomato.

There are dishes that once you try them you cannot live without them, that is what happened to me, when during a trip to Vietnam I tried for the first time a delicious salad called Bún bò xào.
