The green bean salad is a cold dish to serve during hot summer days 😉
This week it will be very muggy again and alas I don’t know if I will resist 🙁
With this heat, I sweat often and have little desire to do anything. I can’t wait for it to pass. The appetite is also low and I drink a lot.
Today I didn’t feel like cooking but I had to prepare something.
I had some leftover cold rice from yesterday, and I cooked it for today’s lunch with a cold tomato sauce.
I also had some green beans that I bought the other day, and I thought of making a cold side dish by adding what I had at home: cherry tomatoes, tuna, and mozzarella balls.
Cook the green beans and add the other ingredients cold.
Good, fresh, and light, it’s just right for these days.
Anyone who wants can also add some corn.
It can also be prepared the night before and stored in the fridge until serving.
