Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Wash and trim the mushrooms. Depending on their size, leave them whole, or halve or quarter them. Steam for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender. Set aside. Steam the green beans about 7 minutes, depending on size. Drain and halve or cut in thirds, depending on size. Cover and refrigerate.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk the oil, vinegar and mustard together, and pour over the mushrooms, peppers, scallions and olives; cover and refrigerate.

  3. Step 3

    To serve, stir the green beans into the rest of the salad. Season with salt and pepper. Do not stir the green beans into the dressing more than a half-hour in advance, because the acid will turn them gray-green.

Tip
  • To roast peppers, preheat the broiler, wash and place them on a baking sheet. Broil, turning often, about 2 or 3 inches from source of heat, until the skins blister and char, 15 to 20 minutes. As each pepper is ready, place in a large plastic bag and keep closed for about 10 minutes. Remove peppers; the skin should peel off easily. After peeling, cut in half and remove seeds. Refrigerate.
