Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams green beans
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt.
Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them in half, if desired, for easier eating.
Blanch the green beans in the boiling water for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the red onion thinly. Mince the garlic and finely chop the parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Add the cooled green beans, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion to the bowl with the vinaigrette. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salad and gently toss again to combine.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
