ITALIAN SUMMER
Sicilian Potato Salad
You might not find this exact recipe over in Sicily, but similar iterations are common in both Sicily and mainland Italy. Potatoes, green beans, and tomatoes are a timeless Italian pairing in the summer months. Using buttery Sicilian green olives—I love Castelveltranos—plus an herb-y oregano vinaigrette gives this salad lots of island flair.

This has completely replaced my normal avocado toast! The beans blend so well you cannot even tell, and I stay full until lunchtime!

Great trick for adding protein without cooking eggs on busy mornings. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes and lemon zest—delicious.
