French green beans are sweeter, crispier, and more elegant than ordinary green beans. They are also full of fiber, protein, iron, calcium, and various other vitamins and minerals. Slicing them on a sharp bias is really beautiful but also allows the beans to really absorb the delicious dressing. This is one of my favorite recipes that I had made many times years ago and had forgotten about, until I had an abundance of haricot vert. Enjoy!

1 pound french green beans
5-6 mini bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup avocado oil or EVOO
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add green beans. Cook for 1 minute. Remove and place in large bowl of ice water until cool. Drain well. Slice each green bean on the bias into 2-3 pieces, based on size.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, and spices.
3. Add green beans, bell peppers, and onion to dressing and toss until evenly distributed. Let stand at room temperature at least 15 minutes and toss again before serving.
