Salad of French-Style Green Beans and Goat's Cheese image

French-style green beans (which is NOT the same as French green beans!) are great for salads: they are slightly sweeter than "normal" green beans, and because they are so flat they are easy to blanch quickly without losing any of the goodness. This recipe is great for picknicks -- bring the cheese separately and add to the salad just before serving. If you want to add some colour, add a finely cut tomato.

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

250 g French style green beans, uncut
100 g black olives
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 lemon
salt
fresh cracked black pepper
50 g fresh goat's cheese

Steps:

  • Juice the lemon. Cut the beans diagonally into broad diamond shapes (any shape will do, but this just looks pretty). Blanch them in boiling water in circa 2 mins and immediately rinse in cold water. Cut the olives into chunks. Mix beans, olives, oil, and lemon juice, and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Crumble the cheese over the salad.

The goat cheese was too strong for me.

I found the dressing to be a bit too acidic.

I was skeptical about the goat cheese at first, but it really made the salad.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of green beans, goat cheese, and walnuts was perfect.
