Italian Green Bean Salad

Step 1

Prepare green beans by snapping off ends and cutting to desired length.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of salt to the water.

Step 3

Add your green beans to the boiling water and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until they are softened but still have a slight crunch.

Step 4

While green beans cook combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning, and whisk together.

Step 5

Drain cooked green beans and run cool water over them to stop the cooking process.

Step 6

Once green beans are completely cooled dry them off and add to a large bowl with pine nuts, sun dried tomatoes, and vinaigrette. Toss to coat then top with Parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper to taste.
