Mixed Veggie Mélange With Lime Dressing
- 1 whole Organic Red Bell Pepper, Washed And Dried
- 1 pint Organic Cherry Or Grape Tomatoes, Washed And Dried
- 2 cups Organic Haricot Verts, Washed, Dried, And Quickly Blanched And Cooled
- 1 Tablespoon Good Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 whole Fresh Lime, Juiced (1 Should Yield About 2 Tablespoons)
- 1/2 teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Chopped Chives
- 1/8 teaspoons Aleppo Pepper (red Chile Flakes Would Work Too), Up To Double This Amount To Taste
- 1. Cut bell pepper flesh away from the seeds and stem, and slice flesh into strips. Add the strips into a large bowl.
- 2. Cut cherry or grape tomatoes in half and add them into the bowl with the bell pepper.
- 3. Next, add your blanched and cooled haricot verts to your mixing bowl. Toss everything together gently.
- 4. In a smaller bowl, whisk together your olive oil, lime juice, sea salt, chives, and aleppo pepper until completely combined. If you're a lover of heat, feel free to add more pepper! If you aren't a fan, I'd suggest starting with a few pinches and working your way up to the listed amount. Remember, the chile will become slightly hotter as it sits and marries with the rest of the dressing.
- 5. Add dressing to your bowl of veggies and toss well to coat. Allow salad to sit on the counter for at least 1 hour to marinate and marry together, tossing every so often.
- 6. Serve at room temperature.
- This is such a great picnic or party side dish as it does not include any ingredients that will spoil if out at room temperature for a while! Sweetness!
