Cold Green Bean Salad With Mango And Red Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot with lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add beans and cook, uncovered, until soft but still firm to the bite, 7 to 10 minutes. Check often so beans don't overcook.
• Combine vinegar, olive oil, onion, garlic, parsley, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
• Drain cooked green beans and mix with dressing in the bowl while still warm. Allow to marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add beans and boil until color changes to bright green, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Drain beans completely and run under cold water or submerge in a bowl with ice-cold water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain completely and set aside.
• Combine bell pepper, mango, and shallots in a large salad bowl. Add green beans and feta cheese; toss to combine.
• Combine onion, balsamic vinegar, sugar, mustard, and poppy seeds together in a bowl. Drizzle in olive oil while whisking rapidly until dressing is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle about 1/4 cup vinaigrette over the salad and mix to combine.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Trim the ends off the beans. Remove the strings if any.
• Bring to a boil enough water to cover the beans. Add the beans and, when the water returns to a boil, cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain well and put them in a salad bowl.
• Preheat broiler.
• Place the pepper under the broiler, and cook it on all sides until the entire skin is well charred. When cool enough to handle, split it in half. Remove and discard the seeds and veins. Pull off the charred skin, and cut the pepper into strips about 1/4-inch wide. Add them to the beans. Add the onion.
• Place the mustard, vinegar, cumin, salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Start stirring with a wire whisk, and gradually add the oil. Blend well.
• Add the dressing to the bean mixture. Stir and blend well.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add beans and cook until bite tender, about five minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water, tossing the colander until all the beans have been shocked and cooking has stopped. Drain well and set aside.
• Peel the mango and slice the fruit flesh off of the pit, as much along the vertical as possible. Discard pit and slice fruit into long narrow strips, echoing the shape of the green beans.
• Cut the top off of the bell pepper. Remove and discard the stem, core, and seeds. Slice the pepper in half along the vertical and use a paring knife to cut away the white pith. Slice the pepper, including the top, into long narrow strips.
• Peel the onion and cut in half along the vertical, reserving half for another use. Slice along the vertical into narrow thin strips.
• Rinse the cilantro leaves well. Pat dry and chop.
• In a medium bowl, combine mango, pepper, onion, and cilantro. Set aside.
• To make the dressing, whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, vegetable oil, sugar, salt, garlic, herb blend, and chili sauce in a small bowl. Fish sauce has a strong flavor. If you haven't worked with it before, start with a teaspoon or two, adding more to taste. Original recipe calls for Sriracha hot chili sauce.
• Add dressing to mango mixture; toss gently. Add beans and toss. Serve at room temperature.
