Green Bean Salad with Summer Savory Vinaigrette

Serve on a hot summer day.

Ingredients

  • Green or yellow wax beans
  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped savory leaves or other herb
  • Real Salt and freshly ground pepper , as needed
  • Mixed salad greens , as needed

Instructions

  • Snap the tips and tails off the beans. Blanch them in boiling salted water about 5 minutes, keeping them firm to your bite but no longer raw. Drain and “shock” the beans in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and guard the bright color. Drain when cold.
  • Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and savory. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Just before serving, toss the cold beans in some of the vinaigrette dressing.
  • Arrange on top of salad greens.
