    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the dressing. Add apple cider vinegar, pumpkin seed oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix the dressing ingredients together. Make sure that the sugar has dissolved. The dressing should be thick and dark green.
  3. Add the cooked or canned scartlet runner beans to the dressing ingredients.
  4. Coat the beans with the dressing by mixing it all together.
  5. Serve up with a topping, ground horseradish, and/or chopped fresh chives.

Notes

  • 8 ounces = 250 grams scarlet beans. Just the weight of the beans, without the liquids (1 normal-sized can). The weight is for soaked or fresh beans that have been cooked, or it also applies to canned beans. 
  • Use dark green pumpkin seed oil. It should be labeled with Styrian or Austrian cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil. It's an expensive ingredient, but it goes a long way. Pumpkin seed oil tastes nutty and it's stuffed with health benefitting nutrients.
