Ingredients

3/4 pound green beans, trimmed
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh mint, minced
1/2 tablespoon fresh basil, minced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

Directions:

In a stockpot of boiling water, cook beans for 3 to 5 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Transfer beans to a large bowl of ice water to chill; drain well. Combine garlic and salt in a small bowl. Use the back of a spoon to crush garlic to the consistency of paste. Add vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste; whisk to blend. Add oil and herbs; whisk until well blended. In a bowl combine together beans and onion; tossing with dressing to coat. Chill 20 minutes before serving.


Hollowed-out mini loaves of round bread are just right for individual servings of soups, stews and salads. Bigger loaves of bread can even be hollowed out and filled with salads to serve ’round the table family style. And the best part...no dishes to wash!
