The method
Step by step
- 1
In a large non-reactive bowl, combine the drained green beans, drained corn, diced green bell pepper, chopped pimientos, and sliced green onions.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: A glass or ceramic bowl works best as the acidic dressing can react with metal.
- 2
In a small saucepan, combine the neutral oil, white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper.
About 2 min
- 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes; do not let it come to a rolling boil.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Heating the dressing helps the sugar dissolve fully for a smooth, not grainy, texture.
- 4
Remove the dressing from the heat and set it aside to cool for about 10 minutes.
About 10 min
- 5
Pour the slightly cooled dressing over the vegetable mixture in the bowl.
About 1 min
- 6
Gently stir everything together until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
About 1 min
- 7
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to marinate.
About 8 hr
Cook’s note: The marinating time is crucial for the vegetables to absorb the dressing and for the flavors to develop.
- 8
Before serving, give the salad a final stir and drain off any excess dressing if you prefer.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: This salad is best served chilled or at cool room temperature.
