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.
