Serves: 4
Ingredients:
300g Blue Peter beans (pictured) or mange tout
300g bush beans or French beans
French dressing:
70ml (⅓ cup) olive oil
85ml (⅓ cup) white wine vinegar
10ml (2 tsp) chopped fresh garlic
5ml (1 tsp) Himalayan pink salt
5ml (1 tsp) freshly ground black pepper
Method:
- If you'll be blanching the beans, bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Blanch the beans for 3 minutes. Drain and plunge beans into a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking process and keep their bright green colour. Drain and place in a bowl.
- Place all dressing ingredients in a screwtop jar and shake well.
- Toss beans with dressing and leave to macerate at room temperature for 1-2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes to coat well with dressing.
