Description

A delicious cold Green Bean Salad that includes tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and a zesty vingaigrette.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Vinaigrette Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon or whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped, fresh basil (or 2 teaspoons dried basil)
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

For the Salad

  • 2 pounds fresh green beans (stem end and strings removed)
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 8 ounces of fresh mozzarella (use small balls or cut a large ball into bite-size pieces)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the dressing ingredients together and set aside.
  2. Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes for fine beans, or 6-8 minutes for larger beans (or until tender to your liking). Remove beans from boiling water and place them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain.
  3. In a large bowl, add drained beans, tomatoes, and mozzarella. Drizzle with dressing and gently toss to combine.
  4. Season with extra salt and pepper, if needed, before serving.
