Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 50 grams sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the green beans by snapping off the ends or cutting them with a knife.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain immediately and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again after 2 minutes and pat dry.
Step 3
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons.
Step 4
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and toasted almonds.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad as a garnish.
Step 9
Serve the green bean salad warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
