Ingredients for making green bean salad:

 250 grams of clean green beans

 2 tablespoons of olive oil

 2 tablespoons of vinegar

 1 medium red onion (chopped)

 ½ red or yellow pepper (chopped)

 1 large tomato (chopped)

 Salt and black pepper to taste)

 coriander (to taste)

 boiled quail eggs (to decorate)

 beak pepper (to decorate - optional)

How to Make Green Bean Salad:

Cook green beans in a pan of salted water for 15 minutes or until cooked through and set. Then drain the beans and pour cold water on it, so that it stops cooking and becomes firmer. Reserve.

In a bowl mix the cooked and drained beans with the tomato, onion, pepper and cilantro, all finely chopped.

Tip: If you like, replace the cilantro with chopped chives.

Season with salt, black pepper, olive oil and vinegar, mixing well.

Tip: Another option is to replace the olive oil and vinegar with mayonnaise, so you'll have a green bean salad with mayonnaise.

Transfer the salad to a platter and garnish with quail eggs and chili pepper. Serve your cold bean salad and, if you prefer, drizzle with more olive oil and vinegar when you go to the table. Enjoy your food!
