Green Bean and Baby Corn Salad

 


This easy to prepare side dish is perfect for freshening up a meal.

Prepare ahead and leave in the fridge so it infuses the flavours.

For the dressing you will need:
  • Olive Oil
  • Cider Vinegar
  • Lime Juice (fresh of bottled)
  • Something sweet - I use Agave Nectar, but maple syrup works too.
  • Chilli flakes if you like to spice things up a bit.
Mix together equal amounts of olive oil and cider vinegar  (I used half a table spoon of each for this amount) then add about a quarter of that measurement of lime, then squidge in the sweet stuff until it tastes nice.  Then add a little salt, pepper and chilli flakes if liked.


Get a pan of water ready boiling, then drop in your green beans  (mine were yellow green beans!) baby corn and mange tout  (I added this because it came in a pack with the baby corn)

You can more or less use any of these kind of veggies.


Just give it a rapid boil for about 5 minutes - no longer.  Then remove from the water and drain on a clean tea towel.  Give them a pat to dry.


When cold, chop the veggies up into small pieces and toss in the dressing. Keep in the fridge until needed.


Enjoy!

Baked Gnocchi

  Gnocchi is one of those comfort foods I find.  Stodgy, filling, warming, comforting, delicious! And the best thing is you can buy Gnocchi ...
