Green Bean Salad With Red Wine Vinaigrette Food

ITALIAN GREEN BEAN SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Trim the ends of the beans, rinse and boil until fork tender, about 5 minutes. At this point you can drain them and add them directly to a bowl for serving. Or, if you wish to retain their vibrant green color, plunge them into a large bowl of icy water and drain immediately. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the remaining ingredients: olive oil, red wine vinegar; crushed garlic clove; dry oregano; dried red chili (optional); fresh chopped parsley and salt, to taste.
• Toss well and serve immediately or place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

POTATO GREEN BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl make the vinaigrette by whisking the Dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and herbs. Add the red onions into the bowl, mix, and set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted (2 Tbsp kosher salt) water to a boil. Once boiling add in the potatoes and cook for 7 minutes. Add in the green beans and continue to cook until the green beans are bright green and the potatoes are almost fork tender (about 3-5 more minutes).
• Remove the green beans with a slotted spoon and set them aside. Drain the potatoes into a colander.
• Place the warm potatoes into the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Next, add in the green beans and toss them together. Taste test and make any final adjustments to salt and pepper if required.
• Finally, add the cherry tomatoes on top and serve. Enjoy!

Transfer the green beans to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Let cool, then drain them and blot dry with a towel.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, shallot, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and several grinds of black pepper.
• Arrange the green beans and cherry tomatoes in a serving dish. Pour the vinaigrette over the top and toss. Top with the feta.
