So, I improvised. I found some baby spinach and haricot verts at Costco. And bought some light balsamic vinaigrette and jarred (pre cooked and sliced) beets at Publix. Lazy, I know... but beets are stinkin' expensive and momma needs a steady income to be buying $5 worth of root vegetables! (Reason #652 why I can't wait to move: Trader Joe's).
Aren't they purty? All bright and crispy just chillin' in some ice water. Pun not intended.
And this is the finished product. A low-cal yet filling, fibrous meal. I mean, it doesn't hold a candle to Medure's, but hey, a girl can try. I think it was the beets. I'm such a cheapskate. Be prepared for more recipe triumphs and disasters to come. With no comparison to the AbFab Medure's, it was delicious. Victory is mine!
I've never blanched. It's simple enough. Boil some water, throw some beans in, cook 1-2 minutes, fish 'em out and throw them in ice cold water.
