GREEN BEANS WITH CHEESE SAUCE
Steps:
- Bring 1/4 cup water just to a boil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the green beans and salt, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat to high and cook until the water has evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the butter and continue cooking until the beans are crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, garlic powder, dry mustard, black pepper and cayenne and cook, whisking continuously, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cheddar cheese and cream cheese and heat until melted. Pour the cheese sauce over the green beans, or serve on the side.
JIMMY BRADLEY'S SALAD WITH GRUYèRE
"I'm a big proponent of what you might call stoner food," the chef and restaurateur Jimmy Bradley told me in 2003, when he gave me this recipe for what amounts to fondue topped with a potato salad topped with a green one. "I think there should always be something on the menu at my restaurants, where someone can come in and see it and say, 'Yeah, man, I want some of that right now, and then we'll figure out the rest of the meal." Well, yeah, man: a pool of warm Gruyère, topped with batons of bacon, wedges of potato, a bitter salad of greens, the cold against the warm, the salty against the faintly sweet and acidic? Pair that with a slightly chilled red wine and someone special and you can figure out the rest later.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place potatoes in a shallow foil-lined roasting pan; drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and toss. Bake 40 minutes, until tender and crisped, stirring after 20 minutes. Loosely cover with foil; keep warm in low oven.
- Meanwhile, fry bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
- Make the roux. Melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes until the mixture is golden. Reserve.
- Combine shallots and wine in a nonreactive saucepan; boil until reduced to 1/3 cup. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in the reserved roux and heavy cream, simmer and stir in cheese, a little at a time, until melted and mixture is smooth. Taste; season with pepper. If necessary, thin with more cream. Keep warm.
- Combine remaining oil, the vinegar and mustard in a large bowl. Whisk until blended. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add warm potatoes, bacon, endive and arugula or dandelion greens; toss to coat.
- Ladle fondue into a large bowl and place the salad atop or serve in individual shallow bowls.

Steps:
- Wash and blanch green beans for 1 minutes or until very crunchy.
- Place oil, vinegar, mustard, parsley, salt and pepper in a jar and shake well. Pour sauce over green beans, then refrigerate.
- Clean mushrooms with wet paper towel before slicing. Prior to serving, add mushrooms and cheese to green beans and toss well.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap when you bend them. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Blanch the green beans before serving: Blanching helps to preserve the beans' color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use high-quality Gruyère cheese: Gruyère is a hard, nutty cheese that melts well. Look for Gruyère that is aged for at least 6 months. You can also use other hard cheeses, such as Parmesan or Asiago.
- Make the vinaigrette ahead of time: The vinaigrette can be made up to 2 days in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The beans will start to wilt if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This cold green bean salad with Gruyère cheese is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. The beans are crisp and tender, the cheese is nutty and creamy, and the vinaigrette is tangy and bright. This salad is sure to be a hit with your guests!
