Ingredients
- 400 grams Green beans
- 60 grams Hazelnuts
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 unit Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and lightly salt it.
Step 2
Trim the ends off the green beans and rinse them well under running water.
Step 3
Blanch the green beans by cooking them in the boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 4
Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve their color. Drain them well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 5
Toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant and slightly browned. Let them cool slightly, then chop them coarsely.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 7
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans and chopped hazelnuts.
Step 8
Pour the dressing over the green beans and hazelnuts, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
Step 9
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish.
Step 10
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy!
