• Ingredients:
  • 1 pound fresh green beans
  • 1 large tomato
  • 1 small red onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 1 sprig oregano
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8oz package of sliced FunGuy white button mushrooms
  • 2 cups cooked or canned cannellini beans
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Fresh green beans, ripe tomato, aromatic herbs that are all sourced from the freshest spot: the local farmer’s market or home garden. Now toss in a few FunGuy mushrooms, and you have a salad worthy of summer! 

Don’t take the FunGuy’s word for it though; get in the kitchen and give it a try!

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Wash the green beans and tomato and trim the stems from the beans and cut the tomato into wedges. 
  2. Slice the onion into thin half circles, mince the garlic cloves, and remove the stem from the rosemary and oregano before finely mincing the herbs. 
  3. Heat the tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the garlic and let it cook 1 minute. Add the FunGuy mushrooms and let them cook 1-2 minutes or just starting to brown around the edges. Add the green beans to the pan along with the rosemary and oregano and sauté 3 minutes. Turn off the heat. 
  4. Transfer the cannellini beans to a large bowl. Add the onion, tomato, and the green beans and mushrooms to the bowl. 
  5. In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pour the vinaigrette  over the beans and mushrooms and toss well to dress the salad evenly. 
  6. Cover and refrigerate, at least 1 hour and up to the night before, until ready to serve.

Have a Fun meal!
