Submitted by: Steph:0)
Servings : 8
1/2 pound green beans -- fresh
5 tablespoons lemon juice
2 large garlic cloves -- crushed
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon tarragon -- crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2 teaspoon salt -- more to taste
ground black pepper -- to taste
2 teaspoons prepared mustard -- dark or Dijon
1/2 cup parsley -- freshly chopped
1/3 cup Swiss cheese -- cubed
1/2 cup green olive -- chopped
1/2 cup yellow peppers -- thinly sliced
1/4 cup slivered almonds -- toasted
Steam the beans until tender. Remove from heat and rinse in cold water.
Combine the vinegar, tarragon, dill, salt, pepper, mustard and parsley to make the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the dressing and the beans. Add the Swiss cheese and toss until well coated.
Cover bowl and allow to marinate for 2-3 hours, stirring mixture once an hour.
Add the olives and peppers. Mix well, cover, and chill at least 5 hours.
Serve topped with almonds.
NOTES : We were served this without the cheese and almonds, and it was delicious!!
This originates from a cookbook by the author of the Moosewood cookbooks.
It would be a great cold salad to take to picnics or potlucks.
As written, per serving is 5 WW points, but without the cheese and almonds, it is only 3 WW points per serving. (reduce the oil for less)
