Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Green beans
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 30 grams Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 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 salted water to a boil.
Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them in half for easier eating, if desired.
Blanch the green beans in the boiling water for 3 minutes, until they are crisp-tender and bright green.
Immediately drain the green beans and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Let them cool for 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled option.
