[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We make green bean salad instead. It's superior because:

1. It's served cold. You can (and should) pre-make it.

2. It adds acid to the meal.

There isn't a recipe.  My mom makes it and it changes slightly each year.

Trim and cook fresh green beans. Blanch them so they don't continue to cook. You don't want them mushy.

Once cooled and drained, add- 
red onions
grape tomatoes, sliced in quarters
black olives - sliced
feta cheese
roasted red peppers - jarred is fine

Mix with a bit of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, maybe a dash of garlic powder if you'd like.

Put it in the fridge overnight. Then give it a good toss before serving.

She may sprinkle some parmesan cheese in there too. I'm not positive.  I just know it's a huge hit and refreshing when you have lots of heavy/warm food on the plate.

If you don't like olives, or peppers, or onions, that's fine. Leave them out. We use grape tomatoes instead of cherry or regular, because they are bit sweeter.

People. Don't eat onions raw. We smell it coming out every pore not to mention your breath.[/quote]
