|
|
Ingredients : |
|
1 lb
string beans
2 lb ripe
tomatoes
3
scallions, roughly sliced
1 tbsp
pine nuts
4 sprigs
fresh savory
Dressing :
2 tbsp
extra virgin olive oil
juice of 1
lime
3 oz soft
blue cheese
1 clove
garlic, peeled and crushed
salt and
pepper |
Method :
- Prepare the dressing first so that
it can stand a while before using.
- Place all the dressing ingredients
in the bowl of a food processor, season to taste and blend until all
the cheese has been finely chopped and you have a smooth dressing.
- Pour it into a pitcher.
- Top and tail the beans, and boil
in salted water until they are just cooked.
- Drain them and run cold water over
them until they have completely cooled.
- Slice the tomatoes, or, if they
are fairly small, quarter them.
- Toss the salad ingredients
together, except for the pine nuts and savory.
- Pour on the salad dressing.
- Sprinkle the pine nuts over the
top, followed by the savory.
Savory and beans must have been
invented for each other. This salad mixes them with ripe tomatoes,
making a superb accompaniment for all cold meats or vegetable salads.
