Emeril's Asian Green Bean Salad - Wheat Free/Grain Free/Sugar Free/Dairy Free

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.
