Fresh chilies add spice to this green bean salad.
Ingredients :
2 cups chopped cooked green beans
1 cup finely chopped peeled cucumber
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or cider vinegar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh green chilies or 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
Method :
1. Mix all ingredients.
2. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled.
TIPS from the kitchens :
1. Be sure to peel the cucumbers, even if their skin is relatively thin. By exposing all of the cucumber's flesh to the dressing, it soaks up more flavor.
2. Time Saver Two cups of frozen cut green beans, cooked briefly and rinsed under cool water, will save you the time of chopping and cooking fresh beans.
