GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH MINT This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Cullen Estate in Allen, Texas in 1984. Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds fresh green beans |
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil |
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves |
1/4 cup white wine vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 clove garlic |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 cup toasted walnuts |
1 cup chopped red onion |
1 cup crumbled feta cheese |
Directions:
1. Wash beans and trim ends then cut into thirds.
2. Parboil by dropping into boiling water 5 minutes.
3. Drain and plunge into ice water 5 minutes then drain well and chill.
4. Combine oil, mint leaves, vinegar, salt, garlic and pepper in food processor.
5. Process 20 seconds then set aside.
6. Place beans in large glass bowl and top with toasted walnuts, red onion and feta.
7. Pour dressing over salad and toss.
8. Best if made 2 hours ahead of time and or the day before to develop flavors.
