Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large, resealable plastic bag or container, combine the drained green beans and thinly sliced red onion. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Pour the jar of pimento-stuffed green olives, including the liquid brine, into the bag with the green beans and onion. The brine adds a wonderful depth of flavor. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Seal the bag or container tightly, ensuring minimal air is trapped inside. Gently massage the contents to evenly distribute the marinade. (3 minutes)

04

Step
4 hrs

Refrigerate the salad and allow it to marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor. Turn the bag or container occasionally to ensure all ingredients are properly marinated. (Marinate 1-4 hours)

05

Step
5 mins

Just before serving, arrange the torn lettuce leaves on a platter or individual plates. (5 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Pour the marinated green bean and olive mixture over the bed of lettuce. (2 minutes)

07

Step
1 mins

Sprinkle the crispy bacon bits (or vegetarian alternative) evenly over the salad. (1 minute)

08

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors of this delightful salad!

For an extra touch of elegance, consider adding a drizzle of high-quality olive oil before serving.
If you prefer a sweeter flavor profile, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the marinade.
To make this salad vegetarian, simply omit the bacon bits and use a vegetarian bacon alternative or toasted nuts for added crunch.
This salad is best served fresh, as the lettuce may wilt if it sits for too long.
