Instructions

Step 1

1. Steam the beans until just tender. +- 5 min (Larger beans will take longer than thinner ones.) Remove from heat, and immediately rinse in cold water.

2. While the beans are cooking, combine the dressing ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well to thoroughly combine.

Step 3

3. Add the rinsed (well-drained) beans to the dressing. Add swiss cheese. Toss until dressing is well-distributed. Cover tightly, and marinate 2-3 hours, stirring about once an hour.

Step 4

4. Add olives and sliced peppers. Mix well, cover, and chill overnight, or at least 5 hours. ~ SERVE TOPPED WITH ALMONDS.
