From mystic_river1 16 years ago

A thoroughty refreshing salad and side dish which will complement any dinner and sparkle on your table...a vivid tasty dish.

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil shopping list
1 lemon , juice only shopping list
1 lb fine green beans , stalk ends trimmed, blanched and refreshed and halved (see know-how, below) shopping list
1 large bag baby leaf spinach salad shopping list

Wash and de-stem the spinach.
Wash , trim, blanch and refresh beans.
In a small bowl mix together the olive oil and lemon juice, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
In a large serving bowl, mix together the beans and spinach.
Toss the salad with the dressing and serve immediately.
Learning to blanch
BLANCHING AND REFRESHING
To blanch and refresh green beans, bring a pan of water to the boil. Fill a large bowl with very cold iced, water.
Plunge the beans into the boiling water for 1-2 mins until just softened (blanching), drain with a slotted spoon and plunge straight into the cold water to stop the cooking process (refreshing).
Now you'll have fab bright green, just-cooked beans.
