GREEN BEAN SALAD 1 lb summer green beans (.5 kg) |
In a large pot set over high heat boil 6 cups of water. Have ready a large bowl filled with cold water and ice. Add green beans to boiling water and cook over high heat for 2-3 minutes. The beans should turn a bright green colour. Strain the beans in a colander and immediately plunge in ice bath. This will help stop the cooking process and keep the beans vibrant green and crisp.
Chop the garlic fine and add to a small bowl. Using a whisk add olive oil,
honey and red wine vinegar.
Pour mixture over beans add nuts, shallots, olives, and salt and pepper to
taste.
Toss and chill well before serving.
Yield: 6 servings
