Long Bean Salad 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:

• Combine the green beans, wax beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, green pepper, onion, and celery in a large bowl; toss to mix.
• Whisk together the oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar in a separate bowl until the sugar is dissolved; pour over the bean mixture. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight before serving.

Steps:

• Cook beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, then plunge into a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain beans well and pat dry.
• Toss beans with remaining ingredients and season with salt.

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:

• In a large salad bowl, whisk together the sugar, vinegar and oil.
• Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, green beans, lima beans, kidney beans, pinto beans and pimentos.
• Toss to evenly coat and place in large sealed container. Place in refrigerator and turn periodically to mix.
