I've been making this Sicilian Chunk Vegetable Salad for years. It’s a wonderful, satisfying salad. I love anything crunchy. It’s best to make it earlier in the day.

Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 5 mins
Yields: 4 - 6 Servings

Ingredients

¼ to ⅓ pound fresh green beans, trimmed

 4 ribs celery, chopped  

½ English cucumber, diced  

2 vine ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped  

½ medium red onion, chopped  

8 hot peppers, small cherry peppers or peperoncini peppers

 1 small jar, 6 to 8 ounces, marinated mushrooms, drained  

1 tin flat anchovies, drained and chopped  

12 large green olives, pitted and coarsely chopped

 1½ tablespoons red wine vinegar

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

salt and coarse black pepper

Directions

1Steam green beans over pasta water if preparing the above recipe, or simmer beans in 1-inch of boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain green beans, run under cold water to cool off and chop them into thirds.
