Mint Green Bean and Egg Salad Recipe

 

This Green Bean and Egg Salad Recipe is a great salad to serve in the summer when the vegetables are fresh and the summer days and nights are hot.  It is a very light and refreshing salad.  This salad can be serve cold or warm, but my family likes it best served warm.

Ingredients
  • 4 to 6 large vine-ripened tomatoes, thickly sliced (depending on size of tomatoes or number of servings needed)
  • 2 pounds fresh green beans, rinsed, stem ends trimmed
  • Coarse salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, halved
  • 6 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped (plus whole leaves for garnish)
  • 6 eggs, hard-cooked
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, extra-virgin (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Black pepper, coarsely ground (to taste)
Instructions
  1. Arrange the sliced  tomatoes, slightly overlapping, around the perimeter of a serving platter or individual serving plates; sprinkle lightly with coarse salt; set aside.

  2. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water to a boil.  Add the green beans and cook for 5 to 6 minutes (depending on the degree of doneness you want).  Remove from heat.  Drain the beans in a colander; drain.

  3. Rub the inside of a large bowl with the cut side of the garlic; reserve for other use.  Add the warm beans and 2 tablespoons of chopped mint; toss to coat.

  4. Using the coarse shredding side on a hand grater, grate the hard-cooked eggs into a separate bowl.  Add the olive oil, the remaining 4 tablespoons of chopped mint, salt, and pepper to taste.  Stir to blend well.  Add to the beans; stir to coat evenly.  

  5. Mound the beans in the center of the serving platter.  Garnish with a few whole mint leaves and serve immediately.
