I made a salad of tomatoes and mozzarella my own way, with tomatoes from our kitchen garden, avocados and fresh mozzarella (made by a very nice Italian vendor, whose products I buy every Saturday at our local street market).
I seasoned the salad with a kind of very light homemade mayonnaise diluted with a little milk and I added a little of green pepper directly from the grinder. No garlic, no extra salt, no onions, most of all no onions!
A few days ago I took a photo of a very choreographic Caprese salad my husband had ordered in a nice little restaurant.
You can see the picture of that salade here on the left.
It looked visually very beautiful, but it would have never been at my taste because of the raw onion.
I think raw onion kills all the delicate flavour of every dish.
There are different schools of thought on this subject….





All the photos of this series, which should be considered a homogenous work, compose a visual description of my very personal idea of summer. Each photo is posted on the same day it’s taken, they have all square format.
You might see also the others, if you have time.
