Garlic and blue cheese in the dressing really perk up green beans and tomatoes. Carol Gano sends this recipe from her home in Ballwin, Missouri. Ingredients:
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed |
6 medium tomatoes (about 2 pounds), sliced |
3 green onions, coarsely chopped |
dressing: |
1/4 cup lime juice |
2 ounces crumbled blue cheese |
5 teaspoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 tablespoon pine nuts |
2 tablespoons fresh savory leaves |
Directions:
1. Place beans in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and immediately place beans in ice water.
2. Drain and pat dry. Cut into 2-in. pieces. Divide the tomatoes, green onions and cut green beans among six salad plates.
3. For dressing, in a blender, combine the lime juice, blue cheese, oil, garlic, salt and pepper until blended. Drizzle over salads. Sprinkle with pine nuts and savory. Yield: 6 servings.
