MULTICOLORED PEPPER-AND-BEAN SALAD WITH RICOTTA SALATA AND HERBS



Multicolored Pepper-and-Bean Salad with Ricotta Salata and Herbs image

You can prepare the vegetables up to 2 hours before serving and keep them covered in the refrigerator. If desired, include some poblano or other chiles along with the peppers. You can substitute feta cheese for ricotta salata.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

Coarse salt
1/2 pound green beans, ends trimmed
1/2 pound yellow wax beans, ends trimmed
3 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced into half-moons (about 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup capers, rinsed and drained (optional)
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 pounds assorted bell peppers, quartered, seeds and ribs removed
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
6 to 7 ounces fresh ricotta salata cheese

Steps:

  • Prepare a large ice bath; set aside. Fill a stockpot with water; bring to a boil, and add a generous amount of salt. Add green beans and wax beans to boiling water, and cook just until they are crisp-tender and their color brightens, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer beans to ice bath to stop cooking and to preserve the color. Drain, and pat dry with paper towels. Slice larger beans in half lengthwise. Set aside in a large bowl.
  • Make vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine shallots, capers (if using), vinegar, and a pinch of salt; let stand 15 minutes. Whisking constantly, slowly add olive oil.
  • Meanwhile, slice peppers as thinly as possible using a sharp knife or mandoline. Add to bowl with beans. Drizzle vinaigrette over, and toss to combine; season with salt and black pepper. Just before serving, tear basil and mint leaves into small pieces, and crumble ricotta salata. Stir herbs and cheese into salad, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans for the best flavor and texture.
  • Trim the green beans by removing the stem ends.
  • Blanch the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes, then shock them in ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve their鮮豔色彩。
  • Use high-quality ricotta salata cheese for the best flavor. Look for cheese that is firm and has a slightly salty taste.
  • Grate the ricotta salata cheese finely so that it melts evenly over the green beans.
  • Season the green beans with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the green beans warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Green beans with ricotta salata are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy, balanced meal. The green beans are tender and flavorful, while the ricotta salata adds a salty, creamy richness. This dish is a great way to enjoy fresh, seasonal produce and is sure to please everyone at the table.
