Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Green beans
- 1 large Red onion
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and toss them in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper in a large bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it into thick rings, about 1/2 inch thick, keeping the rings intact.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the green beans and onion rings directly on the grill. Cook the green beans for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they develop slight char marks but remain crisp-tender. Grill the onion rings for 3-4 minutes per side until charred and softened. Remove both from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to make the dressing.
Roughly chop the grilled onion rings and parsley.
In a large serving bowl, combine the grilled green beans, chopped onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and parsley. Drizzle with the prepared dressing and toss gently to coat.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the salad warm or at room temperature.
