Fresh green beans cooked til just tender and crisp with a few "Mexican" influenced additions. A quick, easy side dish, especially for that over abundance of fresh green beans!
Ingredients
- 2lb fresh green beans, trimmed shopping list
- 1/2 cup vinegar(I suggest balsamic or red wine with garlic) shopping list
- 1/4 cup olive oil shopping list
- 2-3t southwest style prepared mustard shopping list
- 1 cup black olives, sliced shopping list
- 1 large red pepper, chopped into 1 inch pieces or 1/2 strips shopping list
- 1t chili pepper shopping list
- 1/2t cumin shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Place beans in large pan with enough water to cover and bring to boil and boil for about 10 minutes until just crisp tender(or longer for your preference)
- While beans boil, combine vinegar, oil, mustard and spices in large serving bowl.
- Drain and rinse beans in cold water and drain again.
- Add beans to dressing bowl and toss to coat then add olives and peppers and toss again just before serving.
- ***Sometimes, as in the photo, I add sliced mushrooms to the pot of beans for the last minutes or so just to "unraw" them, then add with the rest of the veggies :)***
