Ingredients
- 50 g green beans
- 2 medium tomato
- 1 small onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 (juiced) lemon
Method
- Trim the green beans and blanch them in boiling salted water for 4 minutes, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and preserve their bright color.
- Drain the green beans thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel before placing them in a large salad bowl.
- Dice the tomatoes into small, even pieces and add them to the bowl with the green beans.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and fresh lemon juice until emulsified into a smooth dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the green beans and tomatoes, tossing gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- Allow the salad to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes so the flavors meld together before serving.
