This Green Bean Dish May Just Be the Way You’ve Ever Eaten Them
Summer's just around the corner and, honestly, picnic season has already begun for a lot of folks. Owensboro, Kentucky's Patty Millay has cooked up a crisp and delicious recipe that will make the perfect side dish for any main course you're serving.
From Patty:
I needed a recipe that was quick to prepare and had just a handful of ingredients. This green bean salad fit the bill perfectly! 15 minutes to prepare it and then put it in the fridge! On a busy day, what more could I want? This is the perfect summer side for grilled dinners or even a cool quick lunch!
Here's how to make Patty's Marinated Green Bean Salad!
MARINATED GREEN BEAN SALAD
- 2 pounds trimmed fresh green beans
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced or 3 green onions chopped
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
Place the green beans in a large pot. Cover the beans with water 2 inches above the beans. Place on the stove over high heat and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, lower the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain and set aside. As Patty says, "You don't want them to cook them to death."
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, Dijon, salt, and pepper.
Toss to combine and serve immediately!
