Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 50 grams sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans by snapping off the ends or cutting them with a knife.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain immediately and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again after 2 minutes and pat dry.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons.
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and toasted almonds.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad as a garnish.
Serve the green bean salad warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
