This is a light flavorful salad with fresh vegetables. My Dad called it his Christmas Salad ... Green and white colors. It just is a simple fresh crisp light flavor. Ingredients:
2 cups fresh green beans, blanched and cut on an angle |
2 cups green peas |
2 cups bean sprouts |
1 cup onion, cut in half and thin sliced |
1 (15 ounce) can water chestnuts, sliced |
1 1/2 cups sliced celery, cut in half and then 1-inch pieces on a angle |
3/4 cup white wine vinegar |
1 cup sugar |
1/4 cup parsley |
1 tablespoon kosher salt |
1 teaspoon ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Green beans - blanch the green beans in a pot of boiling water for just 3-4 minutes until lightly cooked then immediately put in a bath of ice water to stop the cooking process.
2. Salad - Now in a medium bowl, add the peas (I just used frozen peas), sprouts, onions, water chestnuts and celery.
3. Dressing - In a measuring cup add the vinegar, sugar, parsley, salt and pepper and mix well.
4. Combine - Add the dressing to the bowl with the vegetables and add in the green beans. Toss well and let marinate overnight or at least 8 hours. Overnight is best.
5. Serve - When ready t serve, toss well and toss in the parsley and taste if any additional salt and pepper is needed. Enjoy - it is a light summery taste, great at picnics, BBQ's.
