Ingredients

• 500 grams green beans
• 2 large ripe tomatoes
• 1 small red onion
• 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.

Step 3

Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

Step 4

Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and finely slice the red onion. Mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, tomatoes, red onion, and parsley. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss gently to combine.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Let the salad rest for 10-15 minutes for the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or light main course.
