Green Bean Red Onion And Roast Potato Salad With Rosemary Vinaigrette Food

ROSETTA'S GREEN BEAN AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot; add water to cover by 2 inches. Cover the pot and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are cooked through, about 30 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, bring another large saucepan of water to a boil; salt generously. Blanch the green beans until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and then shock in an ice water bath to stop cooking.
• When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks and place in a large serving bowl. Add the green beans, red onions and tomatoes and toss together. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil and dried basil. Pour about three-quarters of the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. (The potatoes should break up a bit and coat the salad.) Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature, garnished with torn basil.

Steps:

• Halve the potatoes, unpeeled, and cut them into 1-inch wedges. In a large roasting pan heat 1/3 cup of the oil in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 5 minutes, add the potatoes, tossing them to coat them with the oil, and roast them, stirring them every 10 minutes, for 30 minutes, or until they are tender. Let the potatoes cool in the pan. In a blender purée the garlic, the vinegar, the rosemary leaves, and salt to taste, with the motor running add the remaining 1/3 cup oil in a stream, and blend the dressing until it is emulsified. In a small bowl of ice and cold water let the onion soak for 5 minutes, drain it well, and pat it dry. In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the green beans for 5 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender, and drain them in a colander. Refresh the beans under cold water and pat them dry. In a very large bowl combine the potatoes, the onion, the green beans, and the olives, add the dressing, and toss the salad gently. Serve the salad, garnished with the rosemary sprigs, at room temperature.

RED BEAN AND GREEN BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Drain the beans, rinse and place in a heavy saucepan with the onion, the crushed whole cloves of garlic, the bay leaf and enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add salt to taste and continue to simmer for an hour to an hour and a half more, until the beans are tender but intact. Turn off the heat and allow to sit for 30 minutes. Remove and discard the onion, garlic cloves and bay leaf. Place a strainer over a bowl and drain the beans. Transfer the beans to a salad bowl.
• While the beans are simmering, blanch the green beans in salted boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes, or steam them. They should be tender but still have some snap to them. Cut into 2- or 3-inch pieces.
• Toss together the red beans and the herbs. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, olive oil and 3 tablespoons broth from the beans (or yogurt, if you used canned beans). If you have time, allow the mixture to marinate, in or out of the refrigerator, for 30 minutes before adding the green beans and serving. Add the green beans and toss again just before serving.
