Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams green beans
- 2 large ripe tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and finely slice the red onion. Mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, tomatoes, red onion, and parsley. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss gently to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Let the salad rest for 10-15 minutes for the flavors to meld.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or light main course.
