Ingredients

• 450 grams fresh green beans
• 250 grams cherry tomatoes
• 1 small red onion
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water.

Step 3

Once the water is boiling, add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 4

Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 2 minutes, then drain and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 5

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and thinly slice the red onion.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped parsley.

Step 8

Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss well to coat evenly.

Step 9

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Transfer to a serving platter or bowl and serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
