We recently got back from vacation in Saint Martin. It was an amazing (and much needed) week away with my whole family. I love everything about vacation. I mean seriously, who doesn't?
The place we stay is a 2-bedroom condo on the beach with a full kitchen.
Most people go on vacation and want nothing to do with preparing meals but I absolutely love the process of going to the little French market and picking up delicious local items. Fresh baguettes, an array of cheeses & meats... my heaven!
Sitting outside on the patio and taking in the ocean views with a cold glass of wine accompanied by brie on a french baguette... does it get any better?
For lunch one day I made a salad nicoise.
On top of a bed or Romaine I put tuna in olive oil, fresh haricot verts, white beans, olives and hard boiled eggs. Dressed with a simple combination of olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and a dash of salt and pepper. Served with some cheese & meats and warm baguettes.
It was fantastic and a perfect light lunch in the heat.
It's always so sad when vacation is over but I feel so fortunate to have been able to enjoy a week in this Paradise!
