Salad with sauteed vegetables

 I want to thank all for your lovely comments on my previous post!
What’s the weather in your country? What do you do to stay chilled? Hiding at home, eating ice cream all days long or chilling near the swimming pool with a cocktail..;) In Dubai almost everybody is hiding inside houses, malls.. Moreover, it’s Ramadan, to drink or eat in public is prohibited until the sunset.
I’m trying to eat more balanced and healthful meal this month, like the below salad. It’s summery and..just eat the salad, man! 😀

    I love the look of this.

    What do we do to stay chilled? Go outside. It’s about 5 degrees! Don’t worry, I’ll have a different view of the weather in 6 months time.

    Healthy and delicious! It’s funny. my husband is out by the pool, and I’m inside knitting. It’s just too hot outside in Oklahoma where we live, and I’ve decided I don’t want age spots!!!
