by Dianne Stevens

Make a great side dish for 4th of July burgers. This chilled Green Bean Salad Recipe has a bit of a bite thanks to a zesty dressing made with balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. fresh green beans
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1 tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, minced
  • 2 tsp capers, drained
  • 1 hard-boiled egg, chopped

 

Instructions

Bring the green beans to a boil over medium heat. Cook until tender (8 minutes).

Drain beans and immediately place them in ice water to cool quickly.

Drain from the cold water, pat dry, and place in a serving bowl.

In a small mixing bowl, combine vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Whisk well.

Pour dressing over the beans and toss to coat well.

Carefully fold in tomato and onion.

Add parsley and capers.

Cover and chill a minimum of 2 hours.
