Ricotta salata is an aged and salted ricotta cheese. Unlike fresh ricotta, it can be sliced or crumbled. Mild feta can be used instead.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound string beans, stem ends trimmed
2 ounces ricotta salata cheese, crumbled
20 small fresh basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of cold water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt and trimmed beans. Cook until beans are just tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and immediately plunge beans into an ice-water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain, pat dry, and place in a large bowl along with ricotta salata and basil leaves.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, olive oil, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
  • Pour vinaigrette over bean mixture and toss well.
