This cold and crunchy green bean and mango salad is made with just a few ingredients but packs a punch when it comes to flavor. Its freshness from the beans and sweetness from the mangoes is a perfect combination. Enjoy the salad as a side with oven-roasted or honey-mustard chicken thighs.
Ingredients
Salad
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large mango, thinly sliced
- 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
Dressing
- 1 small red onion, minced
- ¼ cup white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add beans and boil until color changes to bright green, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 2
Drain beans completely and run under cold water or submerge in a bowl with ice-cold water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain completely and set aside.
Step 3
Combine bell pepper, mango, and shallots in a large salad bowl. Add green beans and feta cheese; toss to combine.
Step 4
Combine onion, balsamic vinegar, sugar, mustard, and poppy seeds together in a bowl. Drizzle in olive oil while whisking rapidly until dressing is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Drizzle about 1/4 cup vinaigrette over the salad and mix to combine.
Cook’s Note:
Use a semi-ripe mango that will hold its shape when sliced.
