Green Bean Crunch Salad with Peanut Vinaigrette

Step 1

Start by blanching the green beans. Prepare an ice bath - fill a large bowl with ice and cold water.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the green beans and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Use a strainer to immediately transfer the beans to the ice bath. Let them chill in the bath for 5 minutes. Pat the beans dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Place the beans on the plate and give them a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle the dressing all over the green beans. Top with the scallions and chopped peanuts. Taste and season more if needed. Spritz on some lime and enjoy!

Step 4

Whisk together the vinegar, lime juice, dijon and honey with a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in a pinch of pepper flakes. Slowly stream in the roasted peanut oil while whisking constantly. This stores great in the fridge for a few days, just shake/mix well before using.
