GREEN BEANS AND SWEET RED BELL PEPPER SALAD
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.

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.
- Line a large serving platter with the chopped lettuce then arrange the vegetables on top. Garnish with the sliced green onions and the sliced red onions.
