Green Bean Salad
Creamy Avocado Dressing
Equipment
- Small food processor
- Large bowl
- Microwave
Instructions
Dressing
Step 1: Place all the dressing ingredients in a small food processor and blitz until smooth.
Step 2: Add water as needed to thin the dressing to a just-pourable consistency. Taste and adjust with salt, pepper, lemon juice or oil.
Salad
Step 3: Steam the green beans by your preferred method until soft. Drain, then leave them to cool and dry.
Tip: Microwave on high for 5 minutes if using a microwave.
Step 4: Put the remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl with the beans. Drizzle with half the dressing and toss. Serve with the remaining dressing on the side.
Step 5: For a neater presentation, drizzle the avocado dressing over the salad instead of tossing it through, and bring it to the table that way.
Notes
The sour cream or yogurt adds fresh creaminess to the dressing, but it is still tasty without it.
Refrigerate leftover dressing for up to 3 days. The dressing can keep for up to 5 days if you leave out the fresh garlic or replace it with 1/4 teaspoon dried garlic powder.
