Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Green beans
- 400 grams Canned black-eyed peas
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 30 grams Fresh parsley
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Wash and trim the green beans, then blanch them in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
Rinse and drain the canned black-eyed peas thoroughly. Set aside.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves, and thinly slice the red onion. Finely chop the parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans, black-eyed peas, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently to ensure even coating.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with extra parsley before serving, if desired.
