Ingredients
  

  • 1lb/450g green beans trimmed
  • 3 medium ripe tomatoes cored and seeded, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 medium red onion sliced thin and halved
  • 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley chopped
  • 1/4 cup basil leaves torn
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
  • 2 tsp prepared mustard
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt more to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat up a large pot with water to cook the beans. When the water is at a full boil, add 1 tsp salt and the beans. Stir and cook until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Drain and cool.
  • While the beans are cooking, make the dressing. To a measuring cup, add olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, pepper and sugar. Whisk well. Taste and adjust salt/sugar. Add in sliced onions and set aside.
  • To a large bowl, add the cooled beans, tomatoes, basil and parsley. Pour dressing over and mix well to combine. Taste and adjust salt. Salad can be served right away or refrigerate for a few hours.
  • *** To keep beans bright green, after draining, put into ice cold water. Drain well and mix with other ingredients. This step is optional.
