Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons water
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
2 large fennel bulbs, trimmed, quartered lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise (about 4 cups)
4 ounces button mushrooms, trimmed, quartered (about 2 cups)
2 cups chopped fresh Italian parsley
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel

Steps:

  • Whisk first 4 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook green beans in large pot of boiling water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Transfer to large bowl of ice water. Drain beans. Pat dry. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill dressing. Wrap green beans in paper towels and chill.)
  • Place beans in large bowl. Add fennel, mushrooms, parsley, chives and lemon peel. Drizzle dressing over; toss. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill 30 minutes. Toss again and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, young fennel bulbs: Look for bulbs that are firm and have no blemishes. The fronds should be bright green and feathery.
  • Trim the fennel properly: Cut off the root end and any tough outer leaves. Then, slice the bulb thinly, either lengthwise or crosswise.
  • Blanch the fennel (optional): Blanching the fennel in boiling water for a few minutes will help to soften it and remove some of its bitterness. This is especially helpful if you are using older fennel bulbs.
  • Use a variety of beans: You can use any type of beans in this salad, but butter beans, cannellini beans, and chickpeas are all good options. Be sure to rinse and drain the beans before using.
  • Add other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as chopped celery, carrots, or red onion.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
