On the menu tonight is a summery salade nicoise for some family coming over for dinner. Growing up my grandmother loved making this salad in the summer. She always added capers to the typical ingredients of green beans, boiled potatoes and eggs, tuna, tomatoes olives and artichoke hearts. Tonight I’ll also be adding basil and a side of grilled peaches with a honey butter glaze.

To our darling daughter;
Thank you for the fantastic salade nicoise, it was really a delight and we loved every bite! The grilled peaches were a wonderful surprise, we will be over again and again. What a great cook and gardner you have grown into. So proud……Love you
