GREEN BEANS AND SWEET RED BELL PEPPER SALAD



Green Beans and Sweet Red Bell Pepper Salad image

From a Caribbean/Central American/Mexican cookbook by the Hermes Publishing House. Use crisp and fresh vegetables-this is not the recipe to use up older vegetables from the back of your frig. If fresh, good quality green beans are unavailable, use a top quality frozen brand.

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (good quality!)
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
2 1/2 cups cooked green beans, quartered (or frozen green beans)
2 medium red bell peppers, seeded, membranes removed, and diced
2 -3 green onions, white and green parts, sliced
1 serrano chili, seeded if desired and minced (can use pickled serrano if you wish)
1 head iceberg lettuce, coarsely shredded (or any crisp similar textured lettuce such as Romaine)
1/2 cup Spanish olives with pimento, sliced
1/4 cup red onion, sliced into crescents

Steps:

  • Prepare the salad dressing by combining the red wine vinegar with the salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil. Best prepared 2-3 hours in advance to allow the ingredients to marinate.
  • Cook the green beans until tender crisp and green beans are still brightly colored. To halt cooking, rinse and drain immediately under cold water. Set aside.
  • Combine the green beans in a mixing bowl with the diced bell peppers, green onions, and serrano chile.
  • Pour the marinated salad dressing over the vegetables and toss lightly to coat.
  • Line a large serving platter with the chopped lettuce then arrange the vegetables on top. Garnish with the sliced green onions and the sliced red onions.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: For the best flavor, use sweet bell peppers that are ripe and have a vibrant color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Slice the peppers and onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes this salad shine. Use a combination of olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and herbs and spices to create a dressing that is flavorful and tangy.
  • Let the salad marinate: This will allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soak up the dressing. The longer you marinate the salad, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served cold, so be sure to chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Sweet bell pepper and onion salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
