Zesty Green Bean Salad
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a substantial container with salted water and placing it on the stovetop over high heat. Allow the liquid to reach a rolling boil.
2
Once boiling, introduce the green beans into the pot and continue cooking without covering them until they reach your desired level of tenderness, typically 7 to 10 minutes. It's essential to monitor their progress frequently so they don't become overcooked.
3
Simultaneously, combine vinegar, olive oil, onion, garlic, parsley, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large mixing vessel.
4
After the green beans have finished cooking, remove them from the water and merge with the dressing mixture while still warm. Allow this combination to sit at room temperature for a minimum of 1 hour, enabling the flavors to meld together.
5
Serve the green beans at room temperature or chilled for a refreshing and delicious side dish.
