Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Fresh green beans, trimmed
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 whole Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 whole Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes, or until tender yet crisp and bright green.
Immediately transfer the blanched green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified and smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans, cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices.
Pour the honey mustard dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if using.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving for enhanced flavor.
