Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Green beans
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium-sized Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
Immediately transfer the green beans to an ice bath (a bowl of ice water) to stop the cooking process. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and emulsified.
In a large serving bowl, combine the blanched green beans, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
Drizzle the honey dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for a cooler salad.
