Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Marinated Green Bean Salad.
Step 1
Start by bringing a generous pot of lightly salted water to a vigorous boil over high heat.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, add the freshly trimmed green beans and let them cook uncovered for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure they remain tender yet delightfully crisp.
Step 3
While the green beans are cooking, take a moment to whip up a zesty dressing.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, sliced onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Whisk these ingredients together until they meld into a harmonious blend.
Step 6
When the green beans reach the perfect texture, drain them and promptly transfer them to the bowl with the dressing.
Step 7
Toss the warm beans gently to ensure they are evenly coated in the flavorful mixture.
Step 8
For the best taste experience, let the salad marinate at room temperature for at least an hour, allowing the flavors to deepen and mingle.
Step 9
Serve the salad at room temperature or chilled, and enjoy a refreshing dish that’s perfect for any occasion.
