Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams green beans
- 150 grams sweet corn kernels
- 150 grams green peas
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Immediately transfer them to an ice water bath to stop cooking.
Cook the peas and corn according to package instructions (if using frozen) or blanch them lightly if using fresh. Cool them in ice water and drain well.
Finely dice the red onion and chop the 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, peas, corn, red onion, and parsley.
Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss until everything is well-coated.
Cover the bowl and allow the salad to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to enhance the flavors.
Before serving, give the salad a final toss and adjust seasoning, if needed. Serve chilled.
