Description
To me, Fresh Green Bean and Tomato Salad with Creamy Garlic Dressing tastes like summer on a plate. The snappy green beans and sweet, colorful tomatoes make this a healthy and tasty salad. The tangy, garlicky dressing is like the crowning glory!
Ingredients
- FOR THE SALAD:
- 1 pound Fresh Green Beans, Washed, Ends Trimmed And Snapped In Half
- ½ pints Red Grape Tomatoes, Washed And Sliced In Half
- ½ pints Yellow Grape Tomatoes, Washed And Sliced In Half
- 2 Tablespoons Pecans, Toasted And Chopped, For Garnish (optional)
- FOR THE DRESSING:
- 3 cloves Garlic, Cut Into Chunks
- 1 whole Shallot, Cut Into Chunks
- ⅛ cups Red Wine Vinegar
- ⅓ cups Olive Oil
- ¼ cups Spicy Brown Mustard
- ⅛ teaspoons Salt
- ⅛ teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
Preparation
For the dressing:
Add all of the ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth. Taste the dressing and season, as needed. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
For the salad:
Refrigerate the clean tomatoes until ready to cut them and assemble the salad.
Blanch the green beans in a pot of boiling water for about three minutes. Then drain them and immediately place them in a bowl of ice water. Once cold, drain them and refrigerate until ready to assemble the salad.
When ready to serve, add the green beans and tomatoes to a large bowl. Drizzle the chilled dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
Serve on individual plates and garnish with the toasted pecans.
Add more dressing as desired.
