March 02, 2023 by North Country Smokehouse Recipes

A crunchy take on a garden-fresh salad. Of course the bacon is our favorite topping. Enjoy as healthy meal or serve as a side.

Ingredients:

Salad
6 oz fresh green peas
12 oz green beans, topped and tailed
3 oz crunchy chickpea snacks
6 breakfast radishes, rinsed and quartered
Fresh lettuce leaves, cleaned and patted dry
8 oz. , cooked until crispy and roughly chopped

 

Dressing

¼ C Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp red wine or sherry vinegar
Parsley and Basil, finely shredded, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste

 

Method:

1) Bring a pot of salted water to the boil over high heat. Add the green beans to the water, stirring gently. Allow them to blanche for 45 seconds before adding the green peas. Continue cooking for 30 seconds, then drain and rinse under cold water.

2) Put the mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, and shake to blend. Add the oil and herbs, re-seal the jar and shake to emulsify the oil. Set aside

3) Lay the clean lettuce leaves on a platter, and sprinkle the peas, radishes, green beans, crunchy chickpeas and bacon over top. Pour the dressing over the assembled salad, and serve immediately
