  • 8 ounces green beans
  • 8 ounces white mushrooms
  • 2 whole roasted red peppers
  • 2 green onions
  • 5 Greek, Italian or French black olives
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 slices country bread

Method

  • Wash and trim the green beans, and steam over hot water for about 7 minutes, until tender but still firm.
  • Wash, trim and quarter the mushrooms.
  • After the green beans have been cooking for about 2 minutes, add the mushrooms.
  • When the green beans are ready, the mushrooms will be, too.
  • Rinse peppers if they come from a can or jar, and cut into thin strips.
  • Wash, trim and thinly slice the green onions.
  • Pit the olives.
  • Whisk the oil, vinegar and mustard in a bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients.
  • When the green beans and mushrooms are cooked, cut the beans in half, and add to the dressing along with the mushrooms, peppers, olives and green onions.
  • Mix well.
  • Serve with one slice of bread.
