Maranhão Style Green Bean Vinaigrette

Cook the green beans (cowpeas/black-eyed peas) with a little chimichurri seasoning.

Transfer the cooked beans to a large, attractive bowl.

Add diced tomato, diced green tomato, aromatic chili (or yellow bell pepper), red onion, and a generous amount of cilantro to the bowl.

Season the mixture with Bahian seasoning blend.

Finish the vinaigrette by drizzling with plenty of lime juice, which is the secret to the recipe, and lots of olive oil.
