French Bean Salad
A delicious side dish which can be eaten hot or cold.
It is nice cold in summer for barbeques or ideal for parties as a side dish, as you can prepare it well beforehand  and let it marinade in the dressing.

1lb of French beans or long green beans, topped and tailed, washed
1/2 red onion, peeled and very thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 tablespoon of wine vinegar, red or white
salt and freshly ground pepper

  1. mix the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper all together, put aside
  2. bring some salted water in a pan, just enough to cover beans, to the boil
  3. add the beans and let simmer for 15 - 20 minutes, beans should be cooked but still firm
  4. drain into a colander and hold under cold water for just a second
  5. serve with the onion rings and dressing, either hot or cold

Bon Appétit
