Ingredients

• 450 grams Fresh green beans, trimmed

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes, or until tender yet crisp and bright green.

Step 2

Immediately transfer the blanched green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified and smooth.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the honey mustard dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper as desired.

Step 7

Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if using.

Step 8

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving for enhanced flavor.
