Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when bent. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the stem ends of the beans by snapping them off or cutting them with a knife. You can also remove the strings from the beans by pulling them off with your fingers.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching is a quick cooking process that helps to preserve the color and flavor of the beans. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the beans in a colander and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Prepare the other salad ingredients: While the beans are blanching, prepare the other salad ingredients. Dice the red onion and tomato, and chop the parsley.
  • Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. You can also add a pinch of dried oregano or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Assemble the salad: Combine the blanched green beans, diced red onion, chopped tomato, and chopped parsley in a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This green bean salad is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. The beans are crisp and tender, the red onion adds a bit of sharpness, the tomato adds sweetness, and the parsley adds a fresh, herbaceous flavor. The dressing is simple but flavorful, and it brings all of the ingredients together perfectly. This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
