Happy Thursday guys! Recipe of the day is Summer Green Bean Salad – packed with goodies, super delicious and nutritious.
Isn’t it amazing picking up your fruit and veg and then preparing a delicious meal with them! It’s one of my favourite things to do. Unfortunately, it doesn’t happen often but recently I’ve been enjoying the produce in my parents garden – picking up lots of delicious vegetables and cooking with them.
There’s such a difference when you taste the just picked up vegetable, as you, I’m sure all know. 🙂
These lovely beans I picked up were so so lovely. I simply cooked them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes and then placed them in a bowl with ice to stop the cooking process and retain the crispiness and flavour of the beans.
Don’t mind the chubby arms, someone’s in love with parsley pesto. 🙂
