- 1/2 lb. of swiss cheese, cut in strips shopping list
- 1/2 cup of imported cured black olives, pitted and chopped shopping list
- 1/2 cup red pepper strips shopping list
- 1/2 cup of red onion slivers shopping list
- 1/2 cup of toasted and chopped almonds shopping list
- Dressing shopping list
- 1/3 cup of lemon juice shopping list
- 2 large cloves of crushed garlic shopping list
- 2/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- 2 tbs. of sherry wine vinegar shopping list
- 1/2 tsp of dried tarragon, crushed shopping list
- 1/2 tsp of dried dill weed, crumbled shopping list
- 1/2 tsp of sea salt shopping list
- several grinds of black pepper shopping list
- 1 tbsp of Dijon mustard shopping list
- 1/3 cup of fresh parsley finely chopped, flat leaf preferred shopping list
How to make it
- Wash and trim the beans; destring.
- steam the beans until barely tender.
- plunge in ice cold water to stop the cooking, drain well.
- Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Add the dried off green beans to the dressing, add swiss cheese.
- Toss well.
- Chill for two or three hours.
- Add the olives, onions, and peppers and cover and chill overnight, best case scenario, a minimum of four hours chill time if you are in a hurry. I don't add the onions and olives earlier because I want the beans to absorb the dressing flavor foremost and the onion, olive flavor secondarily.
- Just before serving, sprinkle with the toasted almonds.
