green bean salad

I saw this recipe and just had to make it. I've been eating it all week and haven't gotten sick of it yet (although it's now all gone). See what you think.

GREEN BEAN SALAD

2# green beans, trimmed but left long

1-2 tomatoes (the "on the vine" kind are the yummmiest)
1/4C red wine vinegar
1/2C olive oil
2T dijon mustard (or spicy hot or stone-ground or whatever you have)

3 stalks green onion, sliced/diced
handful of fresh herbs, chopped fine (basil, oregano, marjoram, parsley)

steam the green beans to firm but cooked (not mushy, not raw and completely crunchy)

puree tomatoes in cuisinart with vinegar, oil and mustard

mix in green onion and herbes and pour over green beans

chill and serve

i've been dumping portions of it on lettuce/salad and using as both veggies and dressing.

yummy and cool and quick!

  1. This recipe is just what I need right now since our pole beans are sprouting like crazy. Do you have a good cucumber recipe - our cukes are very prolific this year. Our pea crop is also getting out of hand and I'll have to start freezing them soon. wish you were here to partake in our bounty.
    love, mom
