Long Bean Cucumber And Tomato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk water, vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until smooth; add cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion and stir to coat.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Trim ends of beans and leave them whole.
• Drop beans into a saucepan with salted boiling water. Cook until crisp tender, about 3 to 5 minutes according to the size of the beans. Do not overcook. Drain and let cool.
• Cut away the core of each tomato, and cut it into wedges.
• In a salad bowl, add mustard, vinegar, shallots, garlic, oil, salt and pepper and blend with a wire whisk. Add beans and tomatoes, toss well. Sprinkle with basil.

Steps:

• Place first 4 ingredients in a clay mortar and pound with a wooden pestle until mashed into a fine paste, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp; mash until pulverized and well combined, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, process in a mini-processor until finely chopped.)
• Add long beans to mortar; lightly crush with pestle to bruise. Add cucumber pieces, fish sauce, and lime juice. Mix well. Add tomatoes, lightly crush, and mix in. (Alternatively, place beans and tomatoes in a resealable plastic bag. Roll a rolling pin over bag to bruise vegetables; transfer to a bowl with the cucumber, fish sauce, lime juice, and chile dressing.) Let marinate for 10 minutes. Stir in peanuts.

Steps:

• Put the tomatoes, cucumber, and white beans into a bowl and toss to combine. Whisk together the hummus and vinaigrette and add to the bean mixture. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste. Spread the lettuce onto a platter, top with the bean mixture and serve.

Steps:

• In large glass serving bowl, mix tomatoes, cucumbers and onion.
• In small bowl, mix all remaining ingredients until blended. Pour vinegar mixture over vegetables; toss to mix. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour to blend flavors. Toss again just before serving. Serve with slotted spoon.
