The other day with some friends we decided to travel on a day trip to a near by small pretty Greek island called Aegina....this is an island that holds lots of our memories as children , since this was the place we will all go together as teenagers to swim , eat Greek meze , and return home just on time for dinner ....whenever we go to the Aegina island we will come back bringing with us lots and lots of pistachio nuts since the island is number one area with pistachio trees all over Greece...and although my favorite ones when I was younger were the roasted and salted version, now days, as the years go by, I prefer the roasted , but not salter version, getting older I m more health conscious , perhaps,....something else we like to bring back from this island are pots of fresh basil, and of course upon return we have to prepare something to eat for dinner.....recently I tried a unique fresh salad that I would like to share with you and hope you will try it...is simple, and very easy to make....
