fresh basil

50 grams of sweet corn

4 tomatoes Piccadilly

a stalk of celery

olive down

salt and pepper

extra virgin olive oil

Procedure

Boil the corn in salted water for the cooking time indicated on the package. Once cooked, drain it, season it with a little olive oil and arrange on a tray so it cools down before possible without continuing to Cook.

Cut into small pieces the gherkins, the spring onions, the pickles and olives. Wash and clean the peppers and cut into small cubes or strips, as Favorites. Wash the tomatoes, remove the peel, of the seeds and vegetation water and cut them into cubes. Clean the celery and slice it thinly filaments.

Flavor the grain now cold with pickles, olives and fresh vegetables, then add the corn and tuna, Finally chopped Basil. Salt, pepper and drizzle with a little olive oil ages: the salad must be grainy and tasty, but not greasy.

I usually don't keep it in the refrigerator because I prepare a couple of hours before serving and I prefer it at room temperature, But if you want to prepare it in advance cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator. I suggest you drizzle with a little more oil before serving, because it tends to dry out. Bon appétit!

Oh yeah, Dear Elly, I also replace the rice with far more nutritious and healthy cereal. Rice, instead, the reserve risottos, that must be routed as it should. Even simple ones. Thank you, ciao. Ada
