This is a warm green bean and potato salad full of sweet flavor from caramelized onions. Serve it as a side dish but it could almost be a meal all on it's own. Ingredients:
2 lbs small red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 lb green beans, cut in half |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine |
2 large onions, chopped (2 cups) |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar or 1/4 cup cider vinegar |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
6 cups bite-size pieces leaf lettuce |
fresh ground pepper, if desired |
Directions:
1. Heat 2 inches of water to boil in 4-quart Dutch oven. Add potatoes, green beans and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat to boiling and reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook about 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Drain and set aside.
2. While vegetables are cooking, melt butter in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onions in butter 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
3. Stir in vinegar, brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour onion mixture over potatoes and green beans and stir until coated.
4. Arrange lettuce on large platter. Arrange warm vegetables on lettuce. Sprinkle with pepper.
5. Enjoy.
