Easy Cold Marinated Green Bean Salad Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons minced red onion
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook until crisp-tender, approximately 7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water (or immerse in ice water) to halt the cooking process; drain thoroughly, then transfer to a serving bowl.
2. While the green beans are cooling, prepare the vinaigrette. In a medium bowl, combine fresh dill, red onion, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Slowly whisk in olive oil until well combined. Allow the vinaigrette to stand for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Gently toss the cooked green beans with the prepared vinaigrette to ensure they are evenly coated. Marinate the green bean salad in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to 3 days, to allow the flavors to fully develop.
