GREEN BEANS AND SWEET RED BELL PEPPER SALAD



Green Beans and Sweet Red Bell Pepper Salad image

From a Caribbean/Central American/Mexican cookbook by the Hermes Publishing House. Use crisp and fresh vegetables-this is not the recipe to use up older vegetables from the back of your frig. If fresh, good quality green beans are unavailable, use a top quality frozen brand.

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (good quality!)
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
2 1/2 cups cooked green beans, quartered (or frozen green beans)
2 medium red bell peppers, seeded, membranes removed, and diced
2 -3 green onions, white and green parts, sliced
1 serrano chili, seeded if desired and minced (can use pickled serrano if you wish)
1 head iceberg lettuce, coarsely shredded (or any crisp similar textured lettuce such as Romaine)
1/2 cup Spanish olives with pimento, sliced
1/4 cup red onion, sliced into crescents

Steps:

  • Prepare the salad dressing by combining the red wine vinegar with the salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil. Best prepared 2-3 hours in advance to allow the ingredients to marinate.
  • Cook the green beans until tender crisp and green beans are still brightly colored. To halt cooking, rinse and drain immediately under cold water. Set aside.
  • Combine the green beans in a mixing bowl with the diced bell peppers, green onions, and serrano chile.
  • Pour the marinated salad dressing over the vegetables and toss lightly to coat.

GARBANZO BEAN AND SWEET PEPPER SALAD



Garbanzo Bean and Sweet Pepper Salad image

I tasted this delicious salad last year at a summer potluck and convinced the chef to part with the recipe. Sometimes I'll boil one cup gemelli pasta (corkscrew) and toss it in with the other ingredients to "stretch" the salad for potlucks, picnics, etc. Marinating is necessary to allow the flavors to mingle.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 99 g, Fat 5 g, Protein 2 g

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crisp green beans. Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans. Remove the tough ends of the green beans by snapping them off. You can also use a sharp knife to cut off the ends.
  • Blanch the green beans. Blanching is a process of briefly boiling the green beans in salted water and then immediately transferring them to ice water. This helps to preserve their color and crispness.
  • Use a variety of bell peppers. This recipe calls for red bell peppers, but you can also use other colors, such as green, yellow, or orange. Choose bell peppers that are firm and have no blemishes.
  • Slice the bell peppers thinly. Thinly sliced bell peppers will help them to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the dressing.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing for this salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Toss the salad just before serving. This will help to prevent the salad from getting watery.

Conclusion:

This green beans and sweet red bell pepper salad is a healthy and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh, seasonal vegetables and a tangy dressing. The salad is also easy to make and can be prepared in just a few minutes. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give this green beans and sweet red bell pepper salad a try.
