Ingredients

3 cups green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces 1 1/2 cups carrots, julienned into 2-inch pieces 1 (15 oz.) can garbanzo beans, drained 1 cup cucumber, peeled and diced

4 tsp. Harissa Spice Mix

1/4 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup white wine vinegar

Directions

Step 1 Bring pot of water with a pinch of salt to a rapid boil. While water heats, fill a large bowl 3/4 full with ice and add enough cold water to just cover ice.

Step 2 Add gree beans and carrots to boiling water in small batches to ensure the water does not lose its boil. Boil vegetables for 3 to 4 min., strain them into a colander and submerge colander containing vegetables into ice bath as quickly as possible. Remove from ice bath as soon as vegetables are no longer warm.

Step 3 In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together Harissa, lemon juice, olive oil and white wine vinegar. Place green beans, carrots, garbanzo beans and cucumbers in a bowl and toss with Harissa dressing.

Recipe Notes

Harissa traditionally is a very spicy blend and these beans pack a punch. Reduce the Harissa to 2 tsp. for a less intense heat.
