GREEN BEAN AND RED PEPPER SALAD
Steps:
- Trim the ends off the beans. Remove the strings if any.
- Bring to a boil enough water to cover the beans. Add the beans and, when the water returns to a boil, cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain well and put them in a salad bowl.
- Preheat broiler.
- Place the pepper under the broiler, and cook it on all sides until the entire skin is well charred. When cool enough to handle, split it in half. Remove and discard the seeds and veins. Pull off the charred skin, and cut the pepper into strips about 1/4-inch wide. Add them to the beans. Add the onion.
- Place the mustard, vinegar, cumin, salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Start stirring with a wire whisk, and gradually add the oil. Blend well.
- Add the dressing to the bean mixture. Stir and blend well.
