Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 30 grams toasted almonds
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the green beans. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the beans are tender but still slightly crisp.
Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Finely chop the fresh cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Pour the honey lime dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle toasted almonds on top for added crunch.
Serve immediately for a fresh and vibrant salad, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld together.
