This salad from Ricardo Cuisine is a great accompaniment to grilled meat, chicken or fish. Cook onion, remove from heat and add vinegar and maple syrup. Combine cooked green beans, cucumber, apple and feta in a bowl and toss with the onion dressing. Cook’s note: I omitted the apple.
Serves 4.
Avoiding Additives and Preservatives
I used Eden Organic red wine vinegar, pure maple syrup and Krinos feta cheese, which does not contain additives. For more recipes using all-natural ingredients, visit Eye For a Recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 onion, chopped
- ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup
- ½ lb (225 g) green beans, trimmed and blanched
- 3 Lebanese or Persian cucumbers, cut into thin wedges
- 1 green apple, cored and julienned
- 3 ½ oz (100 g) feta cheese, crumbled
Preparation:
- In a small pot over high heat, cook the onion in the oil until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the vinegar and maple syrup. Let cool.
- In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. When ready to serve, add the onion dressing to the salad bowl and toss to combine. Adjust the seasoning.
