Ingredients
- 1 cup of water
- 12 ounces of fresh green beans
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 lemon
- 1 pint of cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup of chopped parsley
- ½ cup of homemade or store-bought Italian dressing
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium pot, add one cup of water and bring to a boil. Add the green beans, cover with a lid, and steam for 2 to 5 minutes (depending on how crispy or tender you want the green beans). Remove from the pot and drain in a colander. Leave them in the colander to fully cool down.
- In a large salad bowl, add the onion, garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside while the green beans cool down.
- Once the green beans are at room temperature, add them to the bowl and mix well.
- Add the cherry tomatoes, parsley, and 1⁄4 cup of dressing. Mix well and place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from the fridge and serve with more dressing on the side.

Notes
- To speed prep: Gather a bunch of green beans in one go, line up the ends, and slice off the tips. Then repeat with the other end.
- Adjust the texture: By adjusting how long the beans are cooked.
- For vibrant green beans: Blanch them until tender-crisp, then immediately plunge into an ice bath to preserve texture and vibrant color.
- For the best flavor: Marinate the tomato and green bean salad for at least 30 minutes, though an hour is even better, so the dressing soaks into the veggies.
