French bean salad with vinaigrette
Step by step recipe:
- 15 min.
Prepare and rinse 750 g green beans. - 2 min.
It isn't essential, but the beans are much more pleasant to eat and cook more rapidly if they are cut up. - 7 min.
Tip the beans into a large pan of boiling salted water and cook until tender. - 2 min.
Drain them... - 2 min.
..and dry thoroughly (you can also use a salad spinner for this).
It is most important for the beans to be "dry", otherwise they will release water once in the salad bowl and ruin the vinaigrette. - 4 min.
- 1 min.
Put the beans, shallot and and herbs into a salad bowl... - 2 min.
...add 5 tablespoons French dressing (vinaigrette), mix well and it's ready.
Remarks:
A variant is to mix in the beans while they are still hot (well drained, of course) for a delicious warm brean salad.Source:
