foto-29

Ingredients (4 persons)
4-6 potatoes
2 leeks
1 green pepper
2 dl. fresh flat-leaf parsley
4 tbs. of oil
2 tbs. of vinegar
salt and pepper

Preparation

  • Wash the potatoes and leave the peel on. Boil them for 10 minutes, so there is still a little bite in them, cool them and then cut them into cubes and set aside.
  • Wash the leeks carefully and cut them into rings, place them into cold water for 15 minutes. Make sure they drip off before you turn them into the salad.
  • Wash and chop the parsley.
  • Mix oil and vinegar in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the parsley. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Finally mix it together and let it rest for 5 minutes and serve.
  • Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.

I served the leek salad along with a medium rare chopped steak, but I think all kind of meat will go with this tasty salad!

Bon appétit!

 

DIY RIPPED JEANS

This summer I want to wear a pair of ripped ankle jeans with a simple white top and a pair of sandals or espadrillos.

That´s why I took the time to show you on how to make a pair of  ripped jeans, and I´m pretty happy on the look and the casual feeling they give me.

My inspiration for this DIY ripped jeans comes from Mary-Kate Olsen.

What l used was one ribbed knife to scratch the my pair of jeans.

Easy peasy and ready for summer!
