Hello my baby chefs…
For my fit group we put together a resource guide of tools to help the members find their health. If you are a personal chef that serves the SW burbs and would like to be added to the guide let me know. We are looking specifically for chefs that can prepare healthy meals (some count macros, oil would need to be measured and minimized). Or if you know of anyone it would be greatly appreciated! ❤️

Hi all, hope you are well! Thought I’d share this yummy side, great the next day.

1 lb green beans, trimmed and cut in half on a bias, blanched and shocked
1 bag of small tri colored peppers, roasted on grill or in cast iron so you char the skin, stems trimmed and cut length-wise

Vinaigrette:
1 small shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, creamed
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped
White wine vinegar
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Sugar or honey to taste

The vinegar should be a 1 to 3 ratio to the olive oil, I used about 2 tablespoons of vinegar , so about 6 tablespoons of oil. Like it with a little more tang? Add more vinegar. Taste.
You can add a little sugar or honey to balance the flavor if you like.
