Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams green beans, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 small shallot, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.
Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water.
Once the green beans are cooked, immediately transfer them to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the diced shallot to the vinaigrette and stir to combine.
Toss the green beans with the vinaigrette until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for garnish.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
