Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans. Remove the ends of the beans, and then cut them into 1-inch pieces.
- Blanch the green beans. This step helps to preserve the beans' color and crispness. 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 and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Roast the red peppers. This step brings out the peppers' sweetness and flavor. To roast the peppers, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place the peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and drizzle them with olive oil. Roast the peppers for 20-25 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly charred.
- Make the vinaigrette. While the peppers are roasting, make the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the salad. In a large bowl, combine the blanched green beans, roasted red peppers, and vinaigrette. Toss to coat.
- Serve the salad warm or at room temperature. This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
This green bean and roasted red pepper salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The beans are crisp and tender, the peppers are sweet and smoky, and the vinaigrette is tangy and flavorful. This salad is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
