insalata di fagiolini e uova sode!!!

                                      

Can't talk, too busy getting a tan so I can look like an Italian:) Just a quick salad recipe for this lovely weather we are having, I love this salad with fish or meat or simply on it's own with some crusty bread!!!

what you need:

 - fine green beans I used a 250g pack from Superquinn (surprise, surprise)

 - 3 hard boiled eggs

 - 2 boiled potatoes cut into cubes

 - sea salt and black pepper

 - 8 tbsp olive oil

 - 3 tbsp red wine vinegar

what to do:

 - bring a pot of water to the boil, add salt and cook your beans until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water and leave to cool down.

 - cut your eggs into quarters and scatter over the beans.

 - add your potatoes, season and dress with olive oil and vinegar.

 - serve and enjoy the sunshine!!!!:)

                                   

buon appetito!!!

p.s I got my new camera last week and it's still in the box, I haven't even used it yet it's been so busy:(

p.p.s. the princess is with the grandparents so mama and papa' are off on the town - yahooooooo!!! Bring on the hangover!!

Ciao!!

This looks delicious.

Wow you've been very busy, and it all sounds very exciting! Good luck with the new house and restaurant.

Thanks for the congratulations in your comment on my blog -- we are so excited to become grandparents by the end of the year!
:-)
Hugs, Pat

8 - You are too cute! Glad to hear that you are "busy!" Here I was worried that you spent your Mother's day unpacking boxes, organizing your house & stressing about your new restaurant.... how silly of me.

LOVE this salad! It looks so hearty & tasty.

10 - Ahhh... gotta love the global warming! The summer I spent in Ireland was anything but warm and sunny! I wore sweaters in July! I think this is the perfect way to eat what us americans would call potato salad. No mayo...just olive oil to bind it together. I love this recipe! I think I'll make it for the next BBQ we have this summer! (Comment this)
