I’m more of a rustic-food-large-platters sort of girl. I could go on and on…I really can’t think of anything this wouldn’t go with!Īlso, I know I said that I usually make this for large gatherings, but I also think it presents elegantly enough to appear on a dinner party table too! Not that I’m known for elegant dinner parties. Serve it with Meatloaf, Bolognese, Roast Chicken, crispy Pan Fried Fish or some sticky baked country Pork Chops. Try it on the side of Steak, or simple crispy pan seared Garlic Chicken Thighs. Even Indian food – lovely fresh flavours to cut through the heavily spiced curries! And I really mean it – it will go with any Western food but will also pair really well with Asian food, Mexican, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean foods, to name a few. This is the sort of salad that will literally go with “anything”. Sprinkle tomato and onion over the beans, then drizzle dressing all over Pat dry– otherwise the dressing won’t cling to the beans! Shake dressing in jar – the best way to bring a salad dressing together!Ĭook beans to your taste – I like mine JUST cooked!
Marinated green bean salad how to#
The chopped tomato and onion serves 3 purposes:įreshness and juiciness – nice contrast to the beans Īcts as a sort of “sponge” so the dressing soaks into it then slowly drips down over the beans Īnd here’s how to make this Green Bean Salad
Then the only thing that needs to be done on the day is chopping a tomato which is best done fresh (it goes soggy if done ahead).Īnd – it looks great and tastes fab! Zingy lemon dressing that’s been thickened with mustard so it clings to the beans nicely.
This is a salad I like to make when I’m planning a large menu ahead because I can prepare most of it in advance then there is very little prep on the day. The beans can be cooked a day or two ahead, the dressing made and onion chopped. It can largely be made ahead making it ideal for meal planning, or getting ahead for dinner parties and festive holiday gatherings! Allow the flavors to marinate together overnight for even better results. This is a lovely green bean salad with a lemon dressing that presents nicely and is fairly quick to make. This marinated green bean salad is a wonderful summer side dish.
