Strawberry & Green Bean Salad

Yes, seriously. I was skeptical myself, but it’s actually quite tasty.

Also, I still have lettuce from last week’s CSA delivery, leftover green beans,  AND our weekend houseguest very kindly brought us a gallon bucket of strawberries from the farm near her house.

Quantities are for a single serving. Scale up to suit your appetite/numbers.

  • About 1 C. of torn-up lettuce
  • 3-4 ounces strawberries (the smaller ones tend to taste better)
  • 1/2 T shelled pistachios
  • 1/4 package fresh mint leaves
  • 3-4 ounces feta cheese
  • 3-4 ounces green beans

Blanch or microwave your green beans long enough that they’re tender, but not so long that they’re limp.

Hull and slice strawberries.

Toss all ingredients together. Add cooked chicken if you like (I do). Balsamic, raspberry, and strawberry vinaigrettes are excellent dressing choices.
