Fresh green beans and sliced peaches tossed with chopped pecans in a maple vinaigrette is a delightfully flavorful Autumnal salad.
I know I'm a little late with this one as August was National Peach Month, but at least I made it under the wire. Besides, you can still get fresh, juicy peaches through the end of September.
I really enjoyed this salad as it had the perfect mix of crunchy and sweet.
How do you make Green Bean and Peach Salad with a maple pecan vinaigrette?
Start by trimming the ends of the green beans; then place in a steamer pot. Fill the bottom portion of the pot with about 3-inches of water, cover pot and bring to a boil.
Allow the green beans to steam until they are cooked, but still slightly crisp. Remove from the pot and rinse under cold water.
Add the beans, sliced peaches and pecans to a bowl; then make the vinaigrette by mixing all of the ingredients together until smooth. Pour the vinaigrette on top of the beans and peaches and mix well. ~Enjoy!
