Ingredients

• 450 grams fresh green beans
• 250 grams cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 50 grams slivered almonds
• 30 grams fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Step 2

Trim the ends off the green beans and blanch them in the boiling water for 3-4 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 3

Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Chop the parsley finely.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the vegetables evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top just before serving for added crunch.

Step 10

Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
