[recipe] Sicilian Bean and Potato Salad ~ vegan

[Guest guest]

This is what I am trying out for dinner tonight. I adjusted a

few of the ingredients since I had cilantro to use up and

didn't wish to buy parsley...

 

Sounds wonderful and I am going to serve it with grilled

un-burgers for me and regular meat or whatever the rest

of the family wants; they have to fix that on their own.

 

Sicilian Bean and Potato Salad

 

1 lb. new potatoes, unpeeled

1 pound green beans, steamed and cut into 1-inch lengths

1 cup cooked haricot or cannellini beans

1 small red onion, chopped finely

1/2 cup black olives, pitted and sliced

1 Tbs capers, minced

Classic Vinaigrette dressing [recipe to follow]

2 Tbs freshly chopped cilantro

Freshly cracked black pepper

 

In a medium saucepan, cook the potatoes in boiling water

until they are tender. Let them cool a bit and then slice them

in half or in quarters if they are rather large.

In a large bowl, mix the potatoes, beans, onion, black olives,

and capers in a large bowl. Pour enough vinaigrette over the

salad to moisten and toss to coat. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

 

Yield: 6 servings
