Green Bean Salad
This is the best Green Bean Salad Recipe ever! It’s filled with tomatoes, Parmesan, fresh basil, and a little bit of red onion. I top it off with a zesty homemade dressing and it’s the most perfect side dish for summertime.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds green beans ends trimmed
- 1 cup grape tomato halved
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1/4 basil chopped, fresh leaves
- 1/4 cup onion red, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon golden balsamic vinegar (or champagne vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic minced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until green beans are tender but still crisp. Don’t overcook.
- Drain the green beans and put in a large bowl of ice water. Let them sit in the ice bat for 5 minutes. Drain well, pat dry and place the beans on a large platter or in a large bowl. Add the tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, basil, and red onion. Gently toss with tongs.
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, honey, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the dressing over the green bean salad and gently toss. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. You can serve immediately, but I recommend chilling for 30 minutes to an hour, so the flavors have time to marinate.
