Kitchen, Additional dish

Preparation Time:

Note:

The bean salad is one of the most popular in Cuba. It can be combined with different ingredients and is always delicious. The bean is known in other places as green beans. It is considered a legume, but we consume it as a vegetable. They are believed to be native to Central America and arrived in Europe in the 16th century. These pods are eaten while green because when they ripen, they lose their nutritional value, and only the fresh seeds are used. It is ideal to include in weight loss diets because they curb appetite and provide important nutrients, including folic acid. Check out our recipe, it's tasty, easy to make, and very Cuban.

1 bunch of green beans

1 lemon
Sunflower or olive oil
Salt, pepper, and herbs to taste

In a pot, bring salted water to a boil. When it is boiling, add the green beans and let them cook until they reach a bright green color. Remove them from the hot water and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process and keep them al dente. Drain them and set aside.

Cut the tomato into cubes and make sure to use all the juice for the salad. Also, chop the onion finely.
