Categories     side-dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds French string beans, both ends trimmed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup good olive oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl with ice water. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Add the beans and cook for 1 minute only. Time it carefully! You want the beans to be crisp-tender. Drain the beans and put them in the ice water until completely cool. Drain the beans again, dry on paper towels, and place them in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil to make an emulsion. Pour enough dressing over the beans to moisten them well, reserving the rest for another use. Toss with the dill, season to taste, and serve at room temperature. (If the beans aren't served immediately, refrigerate them and add a little extra vinaigrette and a sprinkle of salt before serving.)

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     salads and dressings, appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, grated
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 pound fresh shelling beans (fava beans, butterbeans or cranberry beans)
1/2 pound small green beans
1/2 pound romano beans
1/2 pound small yellow wax beans
1 medium red onion, in 1/4-inch slices
A few sprigs fresh marjoram or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • To make the vinaigrette, stir together vinegar, mustard and garlic in small bowl. Add a good pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk in olive oil. Taste for seasoning, then set aside.
  • Shuck and cook the fresh shelling beans. If using fava beans, blanch in boiling water for 1 minute, then rinse in cool water. Peel the outer skin from each bean and set aside. If using butterbeans or cranberry beans, simmer in lightly salted water to cover. They should be tender in about 30 minutes. Let shelling beans cool in their cooking water. (May be cooked ahead.)
  • Cook the green beans, romano beans and wax beans separately. Simmer each type in lightly salted water for 3 to 5 minutes, until just tender. Spread them out on plates to cool to room temperature.
  • Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lay onion slices in the skillet and let them char and soften slightly on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn and char the other side. Set aside to cool. Toast marjoram on the hot skillet until it chars slightly, about one minute, then remove. (You may char the onions and marjoram on an outdoor grill or under the broiler.)
  • To assemble the salad, drain the shell beans (reserve liquid for another purpose) and put them in a large serving bowl. Add cooked green beans and charred onions. Season with salt and pepper. Add vinaigrette and toss well. Crumble marjoram and sprinkle over salad. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp string beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
  • Blanch the string beans: This helps to preserve their color and crunchiness. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the string beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This allows the flavors to meld and develop. You can make the dressing up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Use a good quality prosciutto: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a deep red color.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This is best when served fresh. However, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

This crunchy string bean salad with red onion and prosciutto is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For a more tangy salad, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of vinegar. For a more savory salad, add some crumbled bacon or grated Parmesan cheese. No matter how you serve it, this salad is sure to be a hit!
