GREEN BEAN, YELLOW PEPPER, AND BACON SALAD WITH OREGANO VINAIGRETTE



Green Bean, Yellow Pepper, and Bacon Salad with Oregano Vinaigrette image

Categories     Salad     Side     Picnic     Bacon     Green Bean     Bell Pepper     Summer     Chill     Oregano     Boil     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Paleo     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried orégano, crumbled
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into paper-thin strips
6 slices of lean bacon, cooked until crisp and drained

Steps:

  • In a kettle of boiling water cook the beans for 2 to 4 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender, drain them, and refresh them in a bowl of ice and cold water. In a large bowl whisk together the vinegar, the mustard, and the orégano and add the oil in a stream, whisking until the vinaigrette is emulsified. To the vinaigrette add the beans, drained well, the yellow pepper, and the bacon, crumbled, toss the salad, and season it with salt and black pepper. The salad may be made 8 hours in advance.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
  • Trim the beans: Remove the ends of the beans, and then cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  • Blanch the beans: This will help them retain their color and crunch. 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 bright green. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Sauté the beans: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add some olive oil and the beans. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the beans are heated through and slightly browned.
  • Add the oregano: Stir in the oregano and cook for 1-2 minutes more, or until the oregano is fragrant.
  • Season to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Green beans with oregano are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Green beans with oregano is a simple, yet delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh green beans, and it is also a healthy and flavorful dish. The oregano adds a unique flavor to the beans, and it also helps to brighten up their color. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
