TOMATO-GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA AND DILL



Tomato-Green Bean Salad With Chickpeas, Feta and Dill image

This is a perfect salad for summer, when the market is chockablock with great produce. Use whatever tomatoes are sweetest, and feel free to add yellow wax beans or romano beans in addition to green beans. If your market has fresh shelling beans, use those instead of chickpeas. Plan ahead to soak dried chickpeas overnight. With a soak, they only take an hour to cook, and taste better than canned ones.

QUINOA, GREEN BEAN AND TOMATO SALAD RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Quinoa, Green Bean and Tomato Salad Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by PKMom

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup quinoa, washed well and drained
 1 1/2 cups water
 3/4 lb fresh green beans, in 1-inch pieces
1/2 lb very ripe Roma tomatoes (3 to 4)*
1 bell pepper, any colour, in 1-inch dice**
4 green onions, in 1/2-inch slices
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh basil
3/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 tbsp toasted pecans

Steps:

  • 1 Combine quinoa and 1 1⁄2 cups water in medium pot; bring to a simmer on medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until all the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside. 2 Fill a large bowl with ice water. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil on high heat, add green beans and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until barely tender. Remove from heat and drain green beans in a colander. Place colander in ice water to preserve the beans' bright green colour and stop them from cooking further. 3 Using a sharp knife, cut tomatoes in half and gently squeeze out and discard seeds. (It's unnecessary to remove skins.) Cut tomatoes in 1⁄2-inch dice. 4 In a large bowl, combine quinoa, green beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, green onions and basil. Season with salt, olive oil and lemon juice, and sprinkle with pecans. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 days. Variation: *oven-dried tomatoes; **grilled pepper.
