Ranch dressing pairs up well with sturdy lettuces, not delicate ones, which droop under its heft. Ours also makes a refreshing dip for blanched vegetables such as these mixed beans.

MIXED-BEAN CRUDITE WITH CUCUMBER RANCH DRESSING

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon salt
1/4 pound snow peas
1/4 pound sugar snap peas
1/4 pound wax beans
1/4 pound purple beans
1/4 pound haricots verts
1 medium cucumber, peeled and halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, about 1 lemon
3 1/2 tablespoons coarse salt
3 tablespoons each finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley and fresh chives

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a vigorous boil. Add about a teaspoon of salt.
  • Snap off the ends of all the beans, leaving the tail on if desired
  • Cook beans and peas in separate batches, starting with the snow peas and ending with the haricots verts, just until color is brightened and they are crisp-tender. They should bend without snapping but not be at all limp, 30 to 60 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge into an ice-water bath.
  • Once beans have cooled completely, drain in a colander, shaking to remove as much excess water as possible. Spread them on a clean kitchen towel and gently pat away remaining moisture. Loosely wrap vegetables in the towel and chill for up to 2 hours.
  • To make dressing: Grate cucumber on the large holes of a box grater.
  • In medium bowl, mix together cucumber shallot, sour cream, buttermilk, and mayonnaise. Add fresh lemon juice, salt, parsley, chives, and cayenne pepper. Season with more salt and cayenne, if desired.
  • Arrange vegetables on a platter and serve with dressing for dipping.
