The strong flavor of fresh dill is a standout in this substantial salad.

 

Trim the tips from the string beans and snap them in half. Steam until

crisp-tender, then rinse under cool water. Combine in a mixing bowl with

all the remaining ingredients except the garnishes and toss together

well. Cover and refrigerate until needed. Before serving, line a serving

bowl or wide serving plate with lettuce leaves, then arrange the salad over

them. If desired, decorate the top with additional strips of red bell pepper.
