Cold Green Bean Salad Recipe

Step 1

First, let's prepare the fresh green beans. Rinse them in a colander under cool running water. Trim off the stems and cut them in half.

Step 2

To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, carefully add your prepared beans into the pot. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the beans are crisp-tender and vibrant green.

Step 3

Have a bowl with ice and water next to the pot. As soon as the beans are done cooking, transfer them into the ice bowl to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for a couple of minutes, then drain well.

Step 4

Now let's make the dressing. In a small jar, add all the dressing ingredients and shake to emulsify.

Step 5

To complete the salad, prep the remaining ingredients. Halve the cherry tomatoes and pitted olives. Slice the red onion and cut the Italian salami into thin strips. Finely chop the parsley.

Step 6

Place all salad ingredients together into a large salad bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to combine.
