This salad is a family favorite at cookouts. It's especially good with barbecued beef, which is so popular here in Texas. Ingredients:
1 pound fresh green beans |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 tablespoons sliced green onions |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
lettuce leaves |
shredded cheddar or monterey jack cheese, optional |
Directions:
1. Place the beans and salt in a saucepan; add a small amount of water. Cover and cook for 6-7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Rinse in cold water; drain.
2. In a bowl, combine the oil, lemon juice, onions, pepper and cumin. Add beans and toss to coat. Serve on a bed of lettuce. Sprinkle with cheese if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
