- 500g fine green beans
- 1 shallot, very finely sliced
- 1 garlic clove, sliced paper thin
- NoMU Just Salt
- NoMU Just Pepper
- ½ cup vinaigrette (see recipe below)
- A handful of fresh mint
Fine Bean & Mint salad
Place the finely sliced shallot, garlic and vinaigrette in a bowl and leave for 15 minutes to infuse the vinaigrette and soften the onion and garlic.
Trim the stalks of the beans and blanch in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes.
Drain and plunge immediately into ice-cold water to refresh. (Note: I usually throw in a tray or two of ice-cubes to make absolutely sure that the beans stay bright green and crunchy.)
Once cooled, drain well, pat dry and add to the bowl.
Season well with salt and pepper before adding the mint and tossing well to ensure everything is thoroughly coated.
Place on a beautiful platter and serve immediately.
