bean salad al dente




Sometimes I happen to rely a little bit too much on my time optimistic side. Today is a good example, but fortunately it turned out better than expected. The result you see above, the absolutely ultimate fast food salad: the fast crunchy bean salad! I got home from a really lovely skiing trip yesterday and haven't had the possibility to cook anything at all. Except at the hotel breakfasts where I picked out all nuts from the musli bowl and cut all the fruit in the fruit bowl into tiny little pieces for my yoghurt. So you can understand what urge a foodie like me felt to get into the kicthen when I got home. Unfortunately, to go to bed at three o'clock in the night doesn't provide you with with the best prerequisites to wake up early. As a result (and because I had a looot of newspaper to get through from the past week) I didn't have the time to prepare anything extraordinary because I was to meet a friend for a walk as well after lunch. So I emptied the already empty refrigerator and cupboard for some beans, carrots and eggs to make a salad and omelet. Even though I spent only ten minutes actually eatingthe food in comparison to the forty minutes photographing it tasted really good so I decided to share the recipe on the blog. Here you go! It's a nice and fast bean salad, with big bits and a crunchy texture. I added a few tomato slices as well, but it's optional.
