Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing a quick and easy cold main dish, made with the last cherry tomatoes from the garden (that’s why it’s called late summer 😆😆😆😆😆). It’s fast and practical to prepare—you can take it to work, to the beach (if you’re on vacation), or just make it the night before to get ahead. The combination of balsamic vinegar, Parmesan, and almonds is delicious. Even though it seems simple, I recommend giving it a try—you’ll definitely be satisfied!

Amo cucinare qualsiasi pietanza, mi piace creare e sperimentare, a dire il vero ho fatto grandi casini in passato.. ma l'esperienza premia e adesso i risultati mi sorprendono sempre e, cosa che mi fa più piacere, sorprendono gli altri. Cucino per me e per la mia famiglia piatti leggeri, light.. ma non ci facciamo mancare qualche strappo alla regola.. magari il sabato sera o invitando qualche amico.. soprattutto parlando di dolci, che adoriamo fare e soprattutto mangiare 😋😋😋😋😋.. se vi fa piacere seguitemi nella mia cucina e divertiamoci insieme 👩🏻‍🍳🤩😍❤💙❤🌻!
