Ingredients

• 500 grams green beans (schnittbohnen), trimmed and thinly sliced
• 1 red onion, finely diced
• 200 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 liter cold water (for blanching)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes. Set it aside.

Step 3

Once the water is boiling, add the thinly sliced green beans and blanch them for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn bright green and are crisp-tender.

Step 4

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the green beans immediately to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Drain the green beans and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans, diced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped parsley.

Step 8

Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss until everything is well coated.

Step 9

Allow the salad to sit for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together, then give it a final toss.

Step 10

Serve the salad at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
