String Bean Salad

String Bean SaladJust a couple simple ingredients is all you need… no crazy jacked up dressings that make life difficult. We just don’t have time for all that.

 

You’ll need:

  • 1 lb Fresh string beans
  • 1 pint Cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 Red onion sliced
  • Kalamata olives pits removed and sliced in half use as many as you like
  • 1/4 cup Red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt
  • Black cracked pepper
  • Lemon wedges for serving

 

Directions:

  1. Clean the beans cut in half (or not) and place in a large pot of briskly boiling water for a couple minutes
  2. Remove and immediately put the beans into a ice bath to stop the cooking and lock in the color
  3. Add the beans, olives, onion and tomatoes to a large bowl
  4. Make your dressing and add about half of it along with salt n pepper to taste
  5. Taste and adjust
  6. If you are not using it immediately then cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge

 

How easy is that! Let’s put the love back into cooking.
