Green Bean Salad
A very easy green bean salad that I like to make when I'm entertaining because it can be largely prepared ahead.

Ingredients
1 lb / 500g
green beans
, trimmed
1
tomato
, diced
1/4
red onion
, finely diced
Dressing
1 1/2
tbsp
lemon juice
(or white wine vinegar)
3 - 4
tbsp
extra virgin olive oil
(adjust to taste)
1
tsp
dijon mustard
1
garlic clove
Salt and pepper
Garnish
Finely chopped parsley
(optional)
Instructions
Combine the Dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well. Set aside - or refrigerate up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before using.
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the beans, bring it back up to a boil and boil beans for 60 seconds - no more!
Drain and plunge in ice cold water (or run under cold tap water) to stop them from cooking.
If making ahead, leave in the colander to dry before transferring to the fridge.
To serve, pile the beans on a plate, top with tomato and red onion, drizzled over dressing. Sprinkle with parsley if using.
