Our Fast and Easy Recipe for Curried Green Bean Salad:

• Cut the tips off of the green beans and slice them in half so that you have approx. 2 inch lengths.

• Add the knob of butter, olive oil, curry powder, salt and pepper to a non-stick pan.

Quick Tip

If you have time, cook the beans in advance and let them marinate in the refrigerator for an hour before serving. The longer they marinate, the more delicious the flavor!

• Heat gently until the butter melts.

• Stir the ingredients in the pan together and add the beans.

• Saute over a medium heat until the beans begin to soften and brown.

• Add the honey and stir.

• Remove the beans from the heat and let them cool.

• Meanwhile, place the salad leaves and walnuts in a serving bowl.

Quick Tip

The Easy Way to Remove an Avo Pip:
Cut down on the stress of avocado pips popping out and flying all over the kitchen with this easy method. Cut the avo in half. Hit the pip with the sharp side of your knife so that it sticks in the pip. Twist the knife so that the pip twists away from the avo flesh and remove the pip.

• Cut the avo in half, remove the pip and slice it into blocks. (Tip: Hold the avo half in your hand, slice the avo flesh down to the skin but don't cut through. Scoop blocks out with a spoon.)

• Add the avo to the leaves and walnuts.

• When the beans have cooled add them to the salad bowl with the sauce from the pan.

• Toss everything together and serve.
