  Peel and remove all their seeds and juices.

Note

Tips

• - You can serve this pasta salad as soon as you prepare it or after an hour without chilling it if you don't like pasta salad kept in the fridge. On the contrary you can prepare it in advance, chill and bring it back to room temperature half an hour to an hour before serving.
• - I recommend you to prepare and eat this pasta salad in the same day. In fact the day after it modifies its taste.
• - This pasta salad is a very tasty dish if prepared with fresh ingredients in summer but if you have no time or it's winter you can make it with frozen green beans, smoked trout fillets, canned chopped tomatoes and dried aromatic herbs.
• - I make this pasta salad with a great variety of pasta. The photo you see was takenby my husband when I used emmer pasta.
• - By the way, green beans, French beans or string beans according to you? ;)

Menu planning

• - Past salad with trout fillets and green beans is a tasty one-plate meal but a fantastic idea for a meal, buffet-style too.

Healthy eating

• - Pasta salad is a dish rich in ingredients and so it is necessary to calculate the right amount of everything we use not to exceed calories, fat and sugars.
  Note the amount of calories, fat and protein and the combination of the ingredients in this vegetable-and-fish pasta salad. It can be only one-plate meal, of course. Complete your meal with fresh seasonal fruit.
  I remember you pasta should be eaten preferably at lunch.
  Here are the doses per head so you can modify your shopping list according to the number of your guests: 60g (2.1 ounces) pasta, 150 to 200g (5 1/3 to 7 ounces) green beans, 1 to 2 tomatoes even big (don't worry about the amount of vegetables ... it seems to have a fuller plate if there are a lot of vegetables and for those who are eternally hungry it's a good trick, isn't it?), 100g (3 1/2 ounces) fresh trout fillet, aromatic herbs and 2 teaspoons olive oil.
