GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH BALSAMIC BASIL VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• BEETS: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the top and bottom ends off of the beets then peel using a vegetable peeler. Cut the beets into 1- 1 ½ inch chunks. Place beets on a foil lined baking sheet. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and some freshly cracked salt and pepper. Roast for 35-40 minutes or until the beets are fork tender.
• DRESSING: While the beets are roasting, prepare the rest of the salad. Add all of the Dressing ingredients to a mason jar and shake vigorously or whisk together in a small bowl. Refrigerate dressing until ready to use. If serving salad within the hour, then place dressing in the freezer to quickly chill.
• GREEN BEANS: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and stir in two tablespoon salt. Add the green beans and cook until tender crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a large bowl of ice water to transfer the greens to. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beans to ice water to stop cooking. Drain the beans and pat very dry. Transfer to a large salad bowl.
• Combine green beans with tomatoes, beets, red onion, and craisins. Drizzle with some of the dressing, cover and chill one hour (time permitting). When ready to serve, toss with arugula, mozzarella, pine nuts and additional dressing if desired. Season with freshly cracked salt and pepper to taste.

COLD GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH FRENCH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE DRESSING

Steps:

• First, prepare your green beans by cutting off both ends. Wash your beans and keep aside.
• Keep a pot with water to boil and once the water boils place the green beans into the water.
• Cook green beans for 6-7 minutes exactly or until they are cooked but still crunchy. That way they will remain green too and won't overcook and get mushy which doesn't look too appetizing.
• Then take the green beans from the heat once ready and place in a bowl with ice water. That way you stop the cooking process and the beans will cool down fast. Keep for 2-3 minutes in the ice water then strain the green beans from the water. Keep aside.
• Then prepare your vinaigrette. Place the mustard with the vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix the content well with a fork.
• Next, pour in the oil. Beat the dressing until the ingredients are well incorporated.
• Pour the vinaigrette over the green beans and serve cold.
