Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Green beans
- 200 grams Yellow wax beans
- 1 cup Chickpeas (canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and prepare a large bowl with ice water for blanching.
Trim the ends of the green beans and yellow wax beans, then cut them into bite-sized pieces (about 2 inches).
Blanch the green beans and yellow wax beans in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender, then immediately transfer them to the ice water to cool. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched beans, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and toss until well coated.
Cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold or at room temperature as a side dish or light meal.
