Sounds rather like a solid version of my favourite chilled soup, Mary: Gazpacho Andaluz

I adore that salad, Mary! I'd definitely recommend the addition of anchovies. Do you tend to use a particular type of bread? I think plain old white (although not the artificial gooey mass-produced brands) works best.

I tend to use wholemeal, because that is what I usually have, but white is probably more authentic. Some people toast or fry it first - I don't.

Dead easy pasta sauce tonight.
Reducing down a tin of tomatoes, adding some bacon.
Hopefully more purple sprouting broccoli will be ready by the time I return from Birmingham on Monday.

My easy pasta sauce on Wed was:

sweat chopped celery (old and therefore very floppy), red pepper in extra virgin
+ fresh black pepper, chilli
+ smashed garlic
+ tin chopped toms, home-grown basil
+ frozen sweet corn
+ pine kernels

Think that's it, tho might have missed something out

Had some "bad idea" food yesterday; had couscous, yellow courgette, pumpkin seeds, and a lime.  NOT the tastiest thing I've eaten this week by any means.

My cheatingly easy pasta sauce the other day was SACLA Olive and Tomato Stir-Through....not as bad as I thought it would be! Just a bit too spicy (e?) - I don't think pasta sauce should have chillis in.

What?!

Everything should have chilli in. What about this recipe which I've just found online?

Sweet Avocado-Green Chili Ice Cream

Serves 6 to 8

    * 1 to 2 fresh jalapeno peppers, minced (pull back on the seeds to cut some of the heat)
    * Shredded zest of 1 large lime
    * Juice from 1/2 of a large lime
    * 2 ripe, dark-skinned avocados, mashed
    * 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    * 2 teaspoons sugar
    * Pinch salt
    * 1 quart good-quality vanilla ice cream, softened
    * 1/2 pint heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
    * Zest of 1 large lime, finely grated (for garnish)

1. In a large bowl, combine the peppers, zest, lime juice, avocado, vanilla, sugar, and salt. Work in the ice cream so mixture is well blended.

2. Freeze the ice cream, covered, up to one day. Serve scooped into wine glasses. Top with the whipped cream and sprinkles of lime zest.

I've just been making my favourite summer lunch, panzanella (Tuscan bread salad). The essential ingredients are stale bread, ripe tomatoes, a lot of basil, cucumber, sweet red onion and dressing. Chop everything up, mix and leave for an hour or two so that the flavours blend.

I've just treated myself to some as in your recipe, Mary, but without the sweet red onion. And very nice it was too. My only complaint was that there wasn't enough. Again tomorrow, I think, and I'll be even more reckless with the basil next time.

I'm looking forward to trying this one too. I've got all the ingredients ready - just waiting for summer!  Wink

I heard on the news this morning that sales of salad have dropped sharply, and sales of soup and hot chocolate have risen. (The usual news terms are "plummeted" and "rocketed", so I avoided using them.)

At least it wasn't rocketing salad sales and rising cake sales ...

I know, incre, that was pretty feeble wasn't it. Soz.

Btw, though, when did you put that petit Nattiez teaser on the bottom of your posts? Only noticed it this morning.
