ISLAND GREEN BEAN SALAD

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 large Maui onion
Olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound green beans, ends trimmed
1/4 pound bacon, chopped

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the onion on a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle the onion with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap the onion tightly in the foil and roast until tender and lightly golden brown, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, slice and set aside.
In a pot of boiling, salted water, blanch the green beans until they are slightly tender, but still have a slight crunch. Drain and immediately shock in an ice water bath to stop the cooking. Drain and place in a large bowl.
In a saute pan, cook the bacon until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crispy. With a slotted spoon, add the bacon to the green beans. Add the warm, sliced onions and season with salt and pepper. Toss well and serve.

Time 12m

Yield 8 portions

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 shallot, minced
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups canola oil
1 mango, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 papaya peeled, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch strips
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup banana chips
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
Salt and pepper
6 cups mizuna (or other leafy green), loosely packed

Steps:

For the vinaigrette:
Whisk together the pineapple juice, red wine vinegar, shallot and salt and pepper. Slowly incorporate the canola oil. Taste, for seasoning.
For the salad:
In a large salad bowl, toss together the mango, papaya, cranberries, banana chips and macadamia nuts with 1 cup of the vinaigrette. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the mizuna on a large serving tray and top with the mixed fruit. (The salad greens hold up longer if only the fruit is tossed with the vinaigrette. However, if serving promptly, combine the greens and the fruit and toss with the vinaigrette.) Drizzle the salad with the extra dressing or serve on the side.
