I brought these to the Titanium rally pot luck and they were a hit with the vegetable lovers. I think they are a great change to plain green beans, and with the dressing is reasonably diet friendly. 1/6th of the dressing recipe is only 38 calories!
Green Bean Salad with Sesame Lime Dressing
Dressing recipe makes enough for 4 pounds of beans. It keeps will in the fridge for a few days.
Ingredients
2 pounds green beans root ends trimmed
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon tahini paste
2 limes juiced and zested
1 teaspoon Hot sauce (I use sirracha)
1 teaspoon soya sauce I skipped this
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
1. Cook green beans using your preferred method. I roast them in a 400F oven, lowest rack, for 7 minutes.
2. Meanwhile whisk the sesame oil, tahini, lime juice and zest, hot sauce, (soya), and honey into a bowl and whisk until smooth. When the beans are done place them in a bowl and toss them with the dressing. Transfer to a serving dish and serve. Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the top
Now, that looks really good. We will have to try them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've never oven roasted green beans. Sounds like they would be good. Do you put any oil on them ?
ReplyDeleteI add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the beans before I roast them.
