I know, I know…I’m getting boring. All I am posting here on EC recently are salads and cold desserts. The fact is that I share with you what I actually make and eat at home myself and with this “inferno style shanghai Summer” all I can handle is cold food. But I promise you I will be posting a proper meal soon!

For today enjoy this fabulous grilled salad. Absolutely divine!
