CREAMY GREEN BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad: Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms to the melted butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture, about 6 minutes. Stir in the thyme, Worcestershire, celery, garlic and salt to taste. Cook until the garlic and thyme are aromatic and the celery is starting to brown on the edges, about 2 minutes. The celery should still be lightly crisp. Add more salt if desired. Take off the heat and spread on a sheet tray to cool.
• Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Set up a large bowl of ice water and line a sheet tray with a paper towel or kitchen towel. Generously season the boiling water with salt. Add the green beans and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a spider or drain in a colander and transfer to the ice bath. Once cooled, transfer the green beans to the lined sheet tray and thoroughly pat dry.
• For the creamy Parmesan dressing: Whisk together the yogurt, Parmesan, mayonnaise, sherry vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
• To assemble: To the bowl of dressing, add the green beans, mushroom mixture and romaine. Toss to combine and everything is fully coated. Transfer to a serving dish and top with the almonds and crispy fried onions. Serve immediately.

CREAMY HORSERADISH AND GREEN BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Whisk together the horseradish, olive oil, vinegar and lime zest and juice with a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Taste for seasoning.
• Cook the green beans: Fill a medium saucepot with water and bring to a boil. Fill a large bowl halfway with ice cubes and add some cold water. Place a colander squarely inside the bowl to make an ice bath. (The colander will keep you from having to pick the beans out from among the ice cubes.) Add salt to the boiling water until it tastes like seawater. Plunge the beans into the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the green beans from the water and transfer to the colander inside the ice bath. Move them around gently so the ice water penetrates the beans and accelerates the cooling process. When fully cooled, drain and arrange in a single layer on a kitchen towel to drain any excess moisture.
• Make the salad: If the green beans are long, cut in half. Toss the green beans in the dressing and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate 30 minutes, then stir to coat with the dressing again and marinate at least another 30 minutes and up to 6 hours. Stir in the basil leaves and serve.

ANYTIME SOUR CREAM GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• 1. Put undrained cut or french cut green beans in a pot. Heat slowly.
• 2. Chop bacon and put in frying pan. Saute to crisp or soft..they both work for this. Add chopped onions and saute until just clear.
• 3. Drain green beans and put back in pan. Add bacon and onions. Stir over low heat to keep green beans warm. Add sour cream, salt and pepper. Stir over low heat until sour cream is just heated through. Very low temp works because high heat will cause the sour cream to separate. Enjoy!!
