- To begin, we wash the lettuce, remove the leaves in the worst condition and cut the rest into small leaves. We reserve in a bowl.

- We cut the onion into julienne strips. If we prefer we can cut it into slices or rings. We add to the container with the rest of the ingredients.
- We open the cans of tuna and drain the oil well. This step is important because, if we do not do this step well, our salad will be too oily.

- Once one of the pots boils, add the round green beans and let them cook for about 15 minutes.
- We open the cans of tuna and drain the oil inside well.
- We put the 2 eggs into the other boiling saucepan. It is important to add them carefully since with the change in temperature they can break a little. We waited 10 minutes.

I started cosmorecipes in 2020 during the time we were cooped up at home. Having so much free time I spent a lot of time in the kitchen trying different dishes. So I decided to mix cooking with my other great passion: web programming. That's why I decided to open this blog where I post the different recipes that I'm cooking.
