This is a great recipe for mixed types, as it has the veggies that are best for them.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup organic green beans, chopped large

DRESSING: (The best bit!)

  • Approx 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • About 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

  1. Place tomatoes, olives, and green beans in medium bowl.
  2. Place olive oil, garlic oregano, and lemon juice in small bottle and shake.
  3. Pour dressing over salad and toss well.
  4. Garnish with sprig of fresh mint or oregano.

The aroma is divine; the taste is even better!  What a quick, easy recipe for guests.  Of course the recipe can be doubled, or even tripled, for larger crowds.
