A hearty and delicious salad for potlucks, barbecues, and family get-togethers.
Ingredients
Dressing
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, or more to taste
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup olive oil
- sprig of parsley for garnish (optional)
- 1 ½ pounds green beans, trimmed
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 (14 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- ½ medium red onion, sliced
- ¼ cup black olives, pitted
- 1 (14 ounce) jar cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup freshly chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon shaved Parmesan cheese, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and add green beans. Cook until tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process, about 5 minutes. When cooled, drain well and pat dry. Set aside.
Step 2
Combine blanched green beans, tomatoes, artichokes, red onion, black olives, beans, and parsley in a large bowl.
Step 3
Whisk together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a cup. Add olive oil in a steady stream while whisking until dressing has emulsified.
Step 4
Pour dressing over salad and finish with freshly shaved Parmesan cheese. Garnish with a sprig of parsley, if desired.
Cook’s Note:
You can also use navy beans or other white beans instead of cannellini. Grape tomatoes work as well instead of cherry tomatoes.
