Ingredients

• 2 cups Green beans
• 2 cups Yellow wax beans
• 1.5 cups Haricots verts (thin French green beans)
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (Whole30-compliant)
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the ends of the green beans, yellow wax beans, and haricots verts.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans, yellow wax beans, and haricots verts. Boil for 3-5 minutes, or until tender-crisp.

Step 3

Immediately drain and transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for a few minutes, then drain again.

Step 4

Cut the cooled beans into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-2 inches long. Place them into a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces. Finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley. Add these to the mixing bowl with the beans.

Step 6

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.

Step 9

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve chilled as a side dish or a light meal.
