Garden Three-Bean Salad with Fresh French Dressing
You will need:
- 2 cups Green Beans
- 8 cups Mixed Greens
- 2 cups frozen shelled sweet Soybeans (edamame), thawed
- 1 cup canned Cannellini, thoroughly rinsed and drained
- 1 cup radishes, quartered or sliced
In a microwave safe bowl combine green beans with 1/4 cup water and 1 tsp salt. Toss to distribute salt among beans. Microcook, uncovered, on 100% power for 3-5 minutes or until just tender. Set aside and allow to cool.
Place salad greens in a large salad bowl; add green beans, edamame, white beans, and radishes. Add about half of the dressing. Sprinkle with pepper and toss gently.
Fresh French Dressing: In a blender combine 2 medium tomatoes, halved and seeded; 1/4 cup olive oil; 2 to 3 tbsp red wine vinegar; 2 tbsp tomato paste; 1 tbsp snipped fresh tarragon; and 2 tsp Dijon mustard. Cover and process until thoroughly blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Tomatoes vary in juiciness; if dressing is to thin add in more tomato paste. Store in refrigerator.
