Ingredients
- 250 grams Haricots verts (green beans)
- 1 medium-sized Zucchini
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 100 grams Black olives (pitted)
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 1 clove Garlic
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of the haricots verts and blanch them in boiling, salted water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry and set aside.
Step 2
Slice the zucchini into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler or mandoline. Set aside.
Step 3
Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl along with the haricots verts and zucchini ribbons.
Step 4
To make the tapenade dressing, finely chop the black olives, capers, and garlic, or pulse them together in a food processor until slightly chunky. Add olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper, and blend until combined.
Step 5
Drizzle the tapenade dressing over the vegetables in the mixing bowl. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Step 6
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve immediately or chill for up to 1 hour before serving for enhanced flavors.
