SPANISH GREEN BEAN SALAD

Spanish Green Bean Salad image

I have been making this recipe for more than 25 years. It is easy-to-make and very colourful. Serve it cold, warm or at room temperature -- I prefer at room temp. It's a great make-ahead recipe because it keeps well for several days in the fridge. Adapted from a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.

Time 16m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 lbs green beans, trim ends and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 ounces red bell peppers, roasted, skinned and diced (in the USA, you can buy this in a jar as pimiento)
1/4 cup olive oil (or more)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (white vinegar is also okay)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 small red onion, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped finely
1 -2 teaspoon sugar (depending on your sweet tooth)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
shredded lettuce, to serve

Steps:

Cook beans in the microwave for 6-7 minutes until crisp-tender. Or you can cook in a pan with a small amount of boiling water.
Put the next 9 ingredients (dressing) in a jar with a lid. Cover and shake well.
Pour dressing over beans, stir well and refrigerate (I usually put this all in a container with a tight-fitting lid and shake the dickens out of it).
Serve over shredded lettuce -- at whatever temperature you prefer. It takes at least an hour for this to come to room temperature after being in the fridge.

Provided tips:

To save time, consider prepping some ingredients in advance, such as chopping up the green onions and red peppers.
If you can't find canned, diced, and drained tomatoes with green chilies, you can use regular canned tomatoes and add a can of diced green chilies.
Feel free to adjust the amount of red wine vinegar to your liking. If you don't have any red wine vinegar, you can use white vinegar instead.
Serve immediately or chill for later.

Conclusion:

This Spanish Green Bean Salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that's perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be served immediately or chilled for later.
