I decided to add green beans to spruce up a salad recipe that had oranges, onion and lettuce, and this is the tasty result. Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed |
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained |
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced |
6 to 8 tablespoons olive oil |
1/4 cup cider vinegar |
3 to 4 teaspoons sugar |
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
4 cups torn mixed salad greens |
1 ripe avocado, peeled and sliced |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Place the beans in a large saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse in cold water.
2. In a large bowl, combine the beans, oranges and onion. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Pour over bean mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Just before serving, add the salad greens, avocado and pecans; toss gently. Yield: 8-9 servings.
