A lot of topics are very serious, as they should be. Here is one which is not so serious.
It gets hot in Languedoc in summer. (It's 35 c in our courtyard right now, that's 95 f) and naturally a lot of meals have to be designed with that in mind.
So, here is one of our favourites, Salade Languedocienne or Languedoc Salad.
Preparation time, five to ten minutes.
Ingredients, for four,
One medium melon.
One medium cucumber
Two medium tomatoes.
A handful of fresh mint.
Juice of one lemon
Some hard goats cheese, or feta.(about 200 grams)
De-seed etc and chop up melon into 1 inch chunks
Chop up cucumber (chunks not slices)
Chop tomatoes.
Place in bowl. Mix together.
Sprinkle with lemon juice,
Add mint, not finely chopped, just torn up by hand. Mix again.
When you are ready to eat add cheese, cut about the same size as the melon chunks, and serve with a baguette.
Tip; You can prepare the fruit etc. before hand, leave the cheese until just before serving or the lemon juice will make it go all soft.
Eat with a class of Rose, well chilled.
Enjoy.
