    Green Bean Salad with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Basil

    Today I made you a simple yet very tasty salad. The ingredients are pretty basic but together they burst with flavors. If you think a green bean salad is bland, then you need to think again!

    It's 115F in Sydney, hot crazy weather again, and the only thing I wanna do is lie in bed, take a cold shower and repeat the process until tonight, when hopefully it is cooler. I had in mind a delicious dessert for you guys, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait. There's no way I can turn the oven on. Did I mention there's no AC in our unit? Well, there's no AC in our unit. So I give you a fresh and healthy salad, so I can stay alive and you can stay fit. Good deal, right?

    I eat this salad for lunch or dinner as a main, but you could also serve it as a side. In that case, the serving size would be smaller.
