What makes this green bean salad so good is that the beans marinate while they are still warm — that way the beans soak up the vinaigrette and become more flavorful.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
- ½ 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
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add green beans and cook, uncovered, until soft but still firm to the bite, 7 to 10 minutes. Check often so beans don't overcook.
Step 2
Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, olive oil, onion, garlic, parsley, sugar, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
Step 3
Drain green beans and mix with dressing while still warm. Allow to marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
