In the face of early candy-filled Halloween aisles andfall drink releases, it can be difficult to ignore that summer is coming to an end. But Giada De Laurentiis is here to remind us of delicious ways to savor the remaining summer, like with her Insalata Vastasa (Sicilian Potato Salad) that she recently posted toThe Giadzy’s Instagram. This fresh and colorful recipe is perfect for a hot, sunny August day.
Under her post, De Laurentiis reminds us that it’s worth using the stovetop even in high temperatures to prepare delicious recipes like these golden potatoes laced with green beans and other tasty veggies. Though no-cook recipes like our15-Minute Chicken & Cabbage SaladandSeneca White Corn No-Bake Energy Ballsare flavorful ways to cool down, De Laurentiis is nothing but correct in writing, “The days are warm, but the nights are cool enough to boil some potatoes and green beans.” In other words, when the sun goes down, it’s potato salad time!

Now, cut the potatoes in half and toss them together with the dressing, beans, red onion, cherry tomatoes, olives and salt. Eecco! In a mere 15 minutes, you’re left to enjoy fresh Sicilian deliciousness. The best part is that you can serve this salad warm right away, or you can let it marinate in the refrigerator for “at least a few hours ahead” of time to enhance the flavors further and serve it cold.
