Consider this a Mediterranean Diet recipe that is the perfect example of plant-forward with bits of animal protein, used in the way people used to incorporate meat in their traditional diets, a little bit here and there.

Instructions

  1. Steam the beans for about 8 minutes or so, until tender but al dente, or blanch them in salted water (it helps retain their color) for about 6-7 minutes. Drain and rinse in a colander with cold running water. Pat dry.
  2. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
  3. Place the beans in a serving bowl. Top with the minced onion, peppers, cured ham, egg and parsley. Pour the dressing over the salad and serve.
