Haricots verts is French for green string bean and refers to a type of long, thin, green bean. Here the beans are combined with pine nuts, basil and sundried tomatoes for a savory vegetable salad. Ingredients:
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted and divided |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
16 large basil leaves (about 1/2 cup) |
1 1/2 pounds haricots verts |
3 tablespoons chopped ready-to-use sun-dried tomatoes |
Directions:
1. Heat oil and garlic in a small skillet over medium heat; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Combine garlic mixture, 1 tablespoon nuts, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and basil in a food processor; pulse until well combined. 2. Cook beans in boiling water 4 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Rinse under cold water; drain. Place in a large bowl. Add basil mixture and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons nuts and tomatoes. |
