Ingredients
- 1 cup green beans
- 1 cup zucchini
- 1 cup yellow squash
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends off the green beans and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
Set a pot of water to boil and prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and a handful of ice cubes.
Step 3
Blanch the green beans by boiling them for 2-3 minutes until tender yet crisp, then immediately transfer them to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
Step 4
Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer, cut the zucchini and yellow squash into thin ribbons or shred into bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped parsley, sea salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, zucchini, and yellow squash.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly.
Step 8
Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, then serve fresh. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
