Emeril's Asian Green Bean Salad
Looking for something nice and cool on a hot summer day? Salads are always a hit and this one stands up to picnics in the summer heat really well.
1 pound long green beans
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 cups cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons crushed toasted peanuts
Salt and pepper
Trim the green beans, cut them into manageable sections and boil them until just done, but still retain a bit of crispness. Rinse and cool. Combine vinegar, garlic, olive and sesame oils and stir. Pour over green beans in a salad bowl and top with cherry tomatoes and peanuts. Toss. Salt and pepper to taste.
Makes around 8 small servings if you have several other salads or side dishes: 160 calories, 7 grams carbohydrates, 1 gram fiber.
