Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds fresh green beans, rinsed, ends snapped off
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for boiling beans
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup minced fresh dill
4 strips bacon, fried until crisp and crumbled

Steps:

  • Blanch the green beans in boiling, salted water for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool completely under cold water. Shake off excess water. Place the beans in a large serving bowl. Add the red pepper and the minced onion and toss well.

  • Bring the beans to room temperature half an hour before serving. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Top with crumbled bacon and serve at room temperature.
