Green Bean Salad With Honey Lime Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan of boiling water, cook green beans, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Remove beans with a slotted spoon; drop immediately into ice water. Drain and pat dry., Place cucumber, red pepper, onion and beans in a large bowl. Whisk together dressing ingredients; toss with vegetables. Refrigerate, covered, until cold.

Steps:

• Cook beans according to package directions until just tender-crisp.
• Rinse under cold water and drain.
• In a medium bowl, combine beans with tomatoes and onion. Toss to combine.
• In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Mix well. Add to bean mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Chill thoroughly.
• Mix before serving.
• NOTE: preparation time does not include chilling time.

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil over a high heat and cook the green beans for 2 mins until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water to halt the cooking process and retain the vibrant colour. Pat dry with kitchen paper and set aside.
• Halve the passion fruits, scoop the pulp into a small pan and bring to a simmer over a low heat. Cook for 5 mins until the pulp has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and press the pulp through a sieve into a small bowl, discarding the seeds.
• Whisk 1 tbsp honey into the passion fruit purée, followed by the oil, ginger, chilli and lime juice. Season and taste - you might need to add a little more honey or lime juice. Aim for a balance of sweet, tart and acidic.
• Slice down through the mangoes along both sides of the stone so you end up with two 'cheeks'. Using a tablespoon, scoop the flesh from the skin and cut into 3cm chunks. Scrape and roughly chop any fleshy bits from the stones.
• Transfer the mango flesh to a shallow serving dish, drizzle with 3 tbsp of the dressing, then gently spoon over the green beans. Stir the coriander into the remaining dressing and pour it over the beans, then scatter with mint and serve.

Steps:

• Divide the romanesco, cauliflower or broccoli into florets and steam until just soft, about 15 minutes.
• Let cool until just slightly warm, combine with the kidney beans in a large bowl.
• While cooling the romanesco, lightly toast the nuts in a hot pan without adding oil, then roughly chop the toasted nuts.
• To make the dressing, stir together lime juice and honey, add fish sauce, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil and stir until smooth.
• Add grated orange peel and combine salad with the dressing.
• Add salt and white pepper to taste.
• Add chopped parsley.
• Serve at room temperature.
