In a cold and grey Madrid it is necessary to find some vitamins. When the sun don't shine as it always does, I made this avocado salat. Healthy, fast and delicious!

Ingredients:

*8 cherry tomatoes,halved
*1 cucumber (about 50-100g)

For the dressing:

*1 tbsp lemon juice (half of lemon)
*2 tbsp olive oil
*little bit of pepper and salt

Steps:

1. For the dressing, mix the lemon juice, olive oil and add a tiny part of salt and pepper.
2. Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl adding the dressing as the last one.
3. If you want, serve with a bread. Enjoy!

My weekend was fulfilled with the joy of cooking. I tried many new wintertime recipes such as gratin dauphinois (well-known French dish), dorada (in Spanish golden fish) and gratin de choufleur avec une chapelure aux noisettes (fancy word for cauliflower gratin, isn't it?).The result was amazing and so tasty!However, as everybody in my family, I also have a sweet tooth. That's why a dessert is my favourite part of eating. My famous chocolate muffins literally were a cure for rainy and cold week-end in Madrid ;)
