Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams green beans
- 400 grams cannellini beans (cooked or canned)
- 200 grams artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained and quartered)
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
- 30 grams fresh parsley (chopped)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the green beans for 3-5 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again and pat dry.
In a large salad bowl, combine the blanched green beans, cannellini beans, artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Cover and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the salad cold or at room temperature as a side dish or light main course.
