Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Green beans
- 200 grams Yellow wax beans
- 150 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 30 grams Parsley
- 15 grams Mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 small Garlic cloves
Instructions
Trim the stems off the green beans and yellow wax beans, then cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and blanch the green and yellow wax beans for about 3 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Transfer the beans into an ice bath or rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process, then drain and set aside.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, slice the cucumber into half-moons, and finely dice the red onion.
Chop the parsley and mint leaves finely.
In a large salad bowl, combine the blanched beans, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, parsley, and mint leaves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic cloves to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything gently so the ingredients are well-coated.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
