DAY 2 - SPANISH TAPAS - ASPARAGUS SALAD - PATATAS BRAVAS
Initially we planned to cook the asparagus with hollandaise (Dutch Style) but it was soooo hot today that there was no way on earth that we could have eaten that for dinner. On hot days like this you need something light and refreshing. So we opted for a Spanish asparagus salad with a lemon/lime parsley dressing, classic patatas bravas and some yummy meat/cheese combo. It was delicious! To be fair, patatas bravas are not a very new thing on the dinner table but the salad was so light and delicious that I'm sure we'll have it again.
