Mock Chopped Liver
What a cool and delicious salad. The onions and salt and pepper enhance the flavor of the beans. It looks as good as it taste. The lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers also add a fresh note to this pretty dish.

In a medium skillet, heat the oil on a low to medium heat and add the onions and cook until they are light brown. Be careful not to burn them. Remove the onions from the pan and drain them to remove the excess oil (but reserving the oil in case you need it later). Chop the string beans and eggs together until the texture is fine (like liver would be). Add the onions, salt and pepper. Mix. If more oil is needed to get the correct texture use the reserved oil. Serve this on a bed of lettuce, add some cucumbers and tomatoes.
