Recipe: Runner Bean Coleslaw
Posted on August 28, 2011 by Andrew in RecipesIf your runner beans are anything like mine over the last couple of weeks a fine crop has been produced. But what to do with the little blighters once you have them? This Runner Bean Coleslaw recipe came with the Taste of Summer pack that started off the whole ‘runner bean’ growing thing… Nice on its own but try stuffing a pitta bread with a spoonful or two and top with shredded chicken…
A fresh and crunchy salad suitable for a light lunch or a side dish
Ingredients
- 200g runner beans finely shredded
- 1/2 small red cabbage finely shredded
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 small shallot finely sliced
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- seasoning
Instructions
- Quantities are more ‘to taste’ rather than fixed. Just mix the shredded vegetables and douse in Mayonnaise mixed with a little Dijon mustard. Like a little more bite? Add more mustard…
