Savoury cake with juniper, rucola and walnuts

A good anglo-saxons habit is holiday or day before holidays tea-time, something similar to a happy 'merenda'. For these occasions combining treats and salty snacks is just perfect, ideals would be the milky 'paninetti' with salami and prosciutto or the tuna creams. Taboo food for vegetarian diet, that actually has interesting alternatives, more difficult but as tasty.

One of these is the salty cake with rocket salad, walnuts, and juniper to present with a fruity 'ciambellone'.
