Lukewarm bean salad with pine nuts

A bean salad is actually always very high in the course with me. They are made quickly, taste really delicious and can even replace a main meal. Bean salad I usually like super lukewarm, because then the dressing can soak into the beans so really nice and thus marinates them. This also worked perfectly with the white bean salad. So different the beans are, so different are then but also the salads.

Lukewarm, wonderfully nutty and yet super fresh

I often see princess beans as a side dish wrapped in bacon on super hearty mashed potatoes and a juicy roast with awesome gravy. I like it, I love it! But the green stalks also do really well in a lukewarm, yet deliciously fresh bean salad! Then when all the flavors soak in and blend together. Mega!

First, I make the dressing, or should I say marinade? With fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic and olive oil, you have a fruity and tangy base. A dash of honey rounds off the whole and brings its own, depending on the selected variety, character with pure. Then just blanch the beans briefly, get out of the water and mix nicely with the dressing. As a topping for the bean salad then come a few toasted pine nuts (I love roasted flavors!) and fresh mint leaves. Bon appetit!
