This one is from Nick Crump

Many people may not be familiar with the purple stringless french beans we are now harvesting at the SHG field, they are delicious, my favourite way to eat them is as a warm or cold salad. They turn green when cooked.

Remove any stalks left on the bean from the picking
Rinse/wash in cold water
Cut the beans into approx. 3 pieces (it is quicker if you do a bunch at a time)
Drop into boiling water, bring back to boil and simmer for approx. 5 mins.

Meanwhile cut fine half rings of red onion (half or two thirds of an onion is probably enough) and place in a salad bowl
Mix up a french dressing: olive oil, cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, 1 clove garlic crushed, salt, pepper, sugar (all proportions as you like)

Strain off the beans and add them to the salad bowl with the onion in

Pour dressing on immediately whilst beans still hot and mix together, this should give off a wonderful aroma
by the time other table settings or food serving is done the salad will be warm and ready to eat or have cold later

Enjoy!
