From tastygermanrecipe.com. Fresh parsley, dill or chives can replace borage if it is unavailable. I wasn't sure what type of onion to use in the salad as it wasn't specified but for color I chose red. If it's another type of onion, kindly let me know and the recipe will be updated. Thanks!

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Sea salt
2 large handfuls haricots verts, trimmed
1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
3/4 cup cooked navy beans
1/2 cup fennel, cut in 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup chopped watercress
1/2 cup chopped green curly leaf lettuce or red leaf lettuce
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped basil
1/3 cup ricotta salata, shaved into irregular 1-inch shards with a vegetable peeler
4 chive flowers, broken into pieces, or 1 tablespoon chives in 1/2-inch slices
Pumpkinseed oil, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add haricots verts, and cook until tender but still slightly crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain, then cool under cold running water. Cut into 1-inch pieces (there should be about 1 cup). Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar and a large pinch of salt. Slowly whisk in grapeseed oil until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning; it should be highly seasoned.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine haricots verts, navy beans, fennel, watercress, lettuce, basil, cheese and chive flowers. Pour half the dressing on top, and toss to coat, adding more if necessary. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Let sit for 15 minutes, then toss, and adjust seasoning once more. Sprinkle a little pumpkinseed oil over it, and serve.
