Green Beans With Peppers Salad
|
|
|
| What You Need: |
|
|
|
1 pound green beans
¼ cup water
½ cup salad oil
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
2 teaspoons minced parsley
½ teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
1 large green pepper
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
½ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon dill weeds (optional)

|
|
|
| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Snip off and discard the ends from the green beans and remove any strings. Cut the beans lengthwise.
|
2. Put the beans and water in a covered casserole and cook for 10 to 12 minutes in the microwave oven, until tender. Drain.
|
3. Mix the salad oil, vinegar, parsley, salt, and pepper. Pour over the beans and mix well. Cover and refrigerate, stirring from time-to-time.
|
4. When ready to serve, drain the beans and save the marinade. Seed the green pepper and cut into thin strips. Add to the beans.
|
5. Blend the blue cheese, sour cream and enough of the marinade to thin to the desired consistency. Stir in the dill weed. Pour over the salad before serving.
|
|
TIP:
|
|
Cook the beans until they are just barely tender, as there will be enough residual cooking to finish tenderizing them. For a nice color contrast, stir in 2 tablespoons diced pimiento.
