Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Fry the chopped onions and bacon in olive oil until golden.
  2. If using fresh green beans, chop and lightly steam them in the microwave or defrost frozen green beans in the microwave.
  3. Rinse the tinned beans and place in a salad bowl with the tomato, capsicum (red pepper), onion and bacon mixture and the green beans.
  4. Add the mustard and tomato sauce to taste and mix.
  5. The salad can be heated in the microwave for a hot meal or served cold.
  6. Variation: Omit the bacon, leave the onion raw, use your favorite vinegar, french dressing or even lemon juice as a dressing. This is especially nice if left for a while as the acid in the dressing breaks down the kick of the onion and the flavours meld a little.
  7. Try adding some of the leftovers to bottled pasta sauce and serving over pasta.
  8. Caramelised onions are great with beans! Cook the onion and bacon separately, cook the onion slowly for as long as possible until nice and brown. Then add a teaspoon of sugar and a good slosh of either red wine or balsamic vinegar. Stir in any burnt bits from the bottom of the pan and allow the mixture to thicken into a sauce. Add this to the remaining salad ingredients. If you love this as much as me you'll want to cook a few more onions when you make this.
